Automated Fact-Checking Resources

Overview

This repo contains relevant resources from our survey paper A Survey on Automated Fact-Checking in TACL 2022. In this survey, we present a comprehensive and up-to-date survey of automated fact-checking, unifying various components and definitions developed in previous research into a common framework. As automated fact-checking research is evolving, we will provided timely update on the survey and this repo.

Task Definition

Figure below shows a NLP framework for automated fact-checking consisting of three stages:

Claim detection to identify claims that require verification;
Evidence retrievalto find sources supporting or refuting the claim;
Claim verification to assess the veracity of the claim based on the retrieved evidence.

Evidence retrieval and claim verification are sometimes tackled as a single task referred to asfactual verification, while claim detection is often tackled separately. Claim verificationcan be decomposed into two parts that can be tackled separately or jointly: verdict prediction, where claims are assigned truthfulness labels, and justification production, where explanations for verdicts must be produced.
