Papers with fact-checking baselines
Improving Explainable Fact-Checking with Claim-Evidence Correlations (2025.coling-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing fact-checking systems that employ large language models fail to reveal reasoning principles behind their decision-making for the claim verdict. |
| Approach: | They propose an LLM-based fact-checking system that simulates human reasoning principles . they propose a test set to evaluate the CorXFact system in real-world and closed-domain scenarios . |
| Outcome: | The proposed system outperforms four strong fact-checking baselines in claim authenticity prediction and verdict explanation. |
Fact-Checking Complex Claims with Program-Guided Reasoning (2023.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Fact-checking real-world claims often requires collecting multiple pieces of evidence and complex multi-step reasoning. |
| Approach: | They propose a novel fact-checking model that decomposes complex claims into simpler sub-tasks that can be solved using a shared library of specialized functions. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms seven baselines on two fact-checking datasets and has explicit output programs that benefit human debugging. |
IMRRF: Integrating Multi-Source Retrieval and Redundancy Filtering for LLM-based Fake News Detection (2025.naacl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods to detect fake news rely on manual checking, which is time-consuming. |
| Approach: | They propose a model which integrates textual corpus retrieval with knowledge graph retrieval to retrieve more comprehensive evidence and a redundant information filtering strategy which minimizes the influence of irrelevant information on the LLM reasoning process. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art fact-checking baselines on two challenging fact- checking datasets. |
