Phase 6 — Information Cleanup Audit

Phase 6 — Information Cleanup Audit

Audit date: 2026-09-06

Verified fixes

  • Publication venue strings no longer contain the year when the template adds the year; the rendered record now reads, for example, Proceedings of ACM SenSys, 2025 rather than Proceedings of ACM SenSys 2025 2025.
  • The publication schema remains consistent: title, authors, venue, venue_short, year, selected, and optional artifact links. All seven publication entries highlight Yimeng Liu in the author string, with author order preserved from the source records.
  • The homepage now exposes PDF / Paper / Code / Slides / Project links where those artifacts exist. The current research card links to the Senior Driving Safety project.
  • The homepage contains no unsupported LLM-grounded or CARLA claim and no CaspianPost promotion. CaspianPost remains a separate project page, outside the core research story.
  • No 2026 paper, fellowship, award, talk, or release was added: the news source has meaningful entries through July 2025 only, so the page does not fabricate activity.

Metadata and delivery checks

  • Canonical production URL: https://lyimeng23.github.io.
  • OpenGraph and Twitter metadata use the canonical URL, site description, and portrait.
  • Person JSON-LD exposes Yimeng Liu, Michigan State University, CV identity, and verified sameAs links.
  • Favicon and apple-touch-icon are configured from the existing local asset.
  • jekyll-sitemap produces _site/sitemap.xml; robots.txt points to that sitemap and excludes only internal tool/error paths.
  • No CNAME file is present; the GitHub Pages github.io URL is the intended canonical host.
  • The footer’s Last updated value is generated from the build date.

The live-check returned 200 for arXiv, MSU, GitHub, IOP, MSUToday, and Google Scholar. ACM returned 403 and LinkedIn returned 999 to the automated request; both are known anti-bot / rate-limit responses rather than evidence that the URLs are absent. Their DOI/profile targets remain the correct public links.

Phase 6 acceptance

  • No duplicate venue/year rendering remains in the generated homepage.
  • No duplicate publication title was found in the source list.
  • Publication authors and Yimeng Liu highlighting remain intact.
  • No unverified 2026 highlight or completed world-model/action claim was introduced.
