ClaimLens: Automated, Explainable Fact-Checking on Voting Claims Using Frame-Semantics (2024.emnlp-demo)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing fact-checking solutions lack transparency and explainability . a lack of transparency can make it difficult for users to trust and understand the reasoning behind the outcomes. |
| Approach: | They propose an automated fact-checking system focused on voting-related factual claims that leverages frame-semantic parsing to provide structured and interpretable fact verification. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system can extract relevant information from voting-related factual claims using public records and Vote semantic frame. |

FactLens: Benchmarking Fine-Grained Fact Verification (2025.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown impressive capability in language generation and understanding, but their tendency to hallucinate and produce factually incorrect information remains a key limitation. |
| Approach: | They propose a benchmark to evaluate fine-grained fact verification where claims are broken down into smaller sub-claims for individual verification. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model enables more precise identification of inaccuracies, improved transparency, and reduced ambiguity in evidence retrieval. |
