Implicit Temporal Reasoning for Evidence-Based Fact-Checking (2023.findings-eacl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Temporal reasoning is implicit since models learn from data how to leverage temporal information. |
| Approach: | They propose to ground claims and associated evidence on shared timelines using publication dates and time expressions extracted from their text. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms existing models that explicitly model temporal relations between evidence and the document by up to 9% Micro F1 and 15% Macro F1 on the MultiFC dataset. |
ClimateCause: Complex and Implicit Causal Structures in Climate Reports (2026.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing datasets for causal discovery from text lack granularity and abstraction for domains characterized by such complex causality. |
| Approach: | They propose a manually expert-annotated dataset of higher-order causal structures from science-for-policy climate reports. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset is highly readable and can be used to quantify readability. |
