Aschern at CheckThat! 2021: Lambda-Calculus of Fact-Checked Claims
P. 484–493.
We describe our system for the CLEF 2021 CheckThat! Lab Task 2 Subtask A on detecting previously fact-checked claims. We developed a pipeline using TF.IDF, sentence-BERT fine-tuned on the training data, and reranking using LambdaMART and the predicted similarity scores and positions in the ranked list as features. We examined the quality of each model on the validation set and analyzed its contribution to the final result using the trained LambdaMART. The official evaluation ranked our system 1st by a wide margin over other participants and the organizers' baseline.

The article examines internet users' tactics for verifying false (fake) information and the factors associated with fact-checking. Working within the framework of the theory of prosumerism and everyday tactics (Michel de Certeau), the authors of the study aim at identifying and describing the arsenal of fact-checking tactics used by the Russian internet audience, and to ...

Large Language Models (LLM) often produce text with incorrect facts and hallucinations. To address this issue, we developed a fact-checking system Truth-O-Meter which verifies LLM results on the Internet and other sources of information to detect wrong claims/facts and proposes corrections for them. NLP and reasoning techniques such as Abstract Meaning Representation and syntactic alignment are ...

We tested four methods of making document representations cross-lingual for the task of semantic search for the similar papers based on the corpus of papers from three Russian conferences on NLP: Dialogue, AIST and AINL. The pipeline consisted of three stages: preprocessing, word-by-word vectorisation using models obtained with various methods to map vectors from two ...

While there has been substantial progress in developing systems to automate fact-checking, they still lack credibility in the eyes of the users. Thus, an interesting approach has emerged: to perform automatic fact-checking by verifying whether an input claim has been previously fact-checked by professional fact-checkers and to return back an article that explains their decision. ...

Because of growing public concerns about the quality of the information presented by various entities as factual, the practice of fact-checking has spread in the United States. Fact-checking has had a limited effect because its methodology ignores the performative functions of political text.
The article proposes to apply a post-structuralist discursive historical approach to answer to ...

Estimation of semantic similarity is crucial for a variety of natural language processing (NLP) tasks. In the absence of a general theory of semantic information, many papers rely on human annotators as the source of ground truth for semantic similarity estimation. This paper investigates the ambiguities inherent in crowd-sourced semantic labeling. It shows that annotators ...

The problem of determining semantic similarity between words affects the understanding of synonymy 13 and creates obstacles to the work of lexicographers. The study was carried out as a part of a larger 14 research project on expert assessment of synonymic rows in RuWordNet thesaurus (a WordNet–like 15 thesaurus for the Russian language). The aim ...

The rapid development of such natural language processing tasks as style transfer, paraphrase, and machine translation often calls for the use of semantic similarity metrics. In recent years a lot of methods to measure the semantic similarity of two short texts were developed. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis for more than a dozen of ...

This paper considers sentiment classification of movie reviews and two argument mining tasks: verification of political statements and categorization of quotes from an Internet forum corresponding to argumentation (factual or emotional). In the case of the fact-checking problem, justifications can be used additionally in one of its sub-tasks. A strong model for solving these and ...
