Challenge: Existing methods to fact-check information focus on word-level attention or evidence-level focus, which may result in suboptimal performance.
Approach: They propose a Hierarchical Multi-head Attentive Network to fact-check textual claims using word-level attention and document-level focus.
Outcome: The proposed model outperforms state-of-the-art methods on two real-word datasets. Improvements over baselines are from 6% to 18%.
