Fact Checking via Evidence Patterns [PDF]
Proceedings of the Twenty-Seventh International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2018 We tackle fact checking using Knowledge Graphs (KGs) as a source of background knowledge. Our approach leverages the KG schema to generate candidate evidence patterns, that is, schema-level paths that capture the semantics of a target fact in alternative ways.
