Zero-Shot Fact-Checking with Semantic Triples and Knowledge Graphs [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Despite progress in automated fact-checking, most systems require a significant amount of labeled training data, which is expensive. In this paper, we propose a novel zero-shot method, which instead of operating directly on the claim and evidence sentences, decomposes them into semantic triples augmented using external knowledge graphs, and uses large ...
