Triple-R: Automatic Reasoning for Fact Verification Using Language Models (2024.lrec-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for fact-checking lack external sources and human-understandable explanations for decision-making . existing methods lack external knowledge sources and explanations . |
| Approach: | They propose a framework that uses the Web as an external knowledge source to retrieve relevant evidence for claims and generates reasons based on the retrieved evidence for datasets lacking explanations. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method improves the transparency and interpretability of fact-checking systems by providing human-understandable explanations for decision-making processes. |

Generating Fact Checking Explanations (2020.acl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing work on automated fact checking is concerned with predicting the veracity of claims based on metadata, social network spread, language used in claims, and, more recently, evidence supporting or denying claims. |
| Approach: | They propose to combine the generation of justifications for verdicts on claims with the multi-task model to optimize both objectives at the same time rather than training them separately. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model improves the informativeness, coverage and overall quality of the generated explanations, rather than training them separately. |
