| Challenge: | Fact-checkers are often hampered by the sheer amount of online content that needs to be fact-checked. |
| Approach: | They propose a multilingual dataset for previously fact-checked claim retrieval using social media posts and 206k fact- checks in 39 languages written by professional fact- checkers. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method improves on the previously unsupervised method and shows that a multilingual dataset has its complexities and needs to be carefully interpreted. |
