Abstract

Fact checking is the task of verifying a claim against sources such as knowledge bases and text collections. While this task has been of great importance for journalism, it has re- cently become of interest to the general public as it is one of the weapons against misinforma- tion. In this talk, I will first discuss the task and what should be the expectations from automated methods for it. Following this, I will present our approach for fact checking simple numerical statements which we were able to learn without explicitly labelled data.

Then I will describe how we automated part of the manual process of the debunking web- site emergent.info, which later evolved into the Fake News Challenge with 50 participants. Fi- nally, I will present the Fact Extraction and Verification shared task, which took place in 2018.
