Identifying check-worthy claims is often the first step of automated fact-checking systems. Tackling this task in a multilingual setting has been understudied. Encoding inputs with multilingual text representations could be one approach to solve the multilingual check-worthiness detection. However, this approach could suffer if cultural bias exists within the communities on determining what is check-worthy. In this paper, we propose a language identification task as an auxiliary task to…

A Context-Aware Approach for Detecting Worth-Checking Claims in Political Debates
TLDR
A new corpus of political debates is created, containing statements that have been fact-checked by nine reputable sources, and machine learning models are trained to predict which claims in a given document are most worthy and should be prioritized for fact-checking.
BanFakeNews: A Dataset for Detecting Fake News in Bangla
TLDR
An annotated dataset of ≈ 50K news is proposed that can be used for building automated fake news detection systems for a low resource language like Bangla and a benchmark system with state of the art NLP techniques to identify Bangla fake news is developed.
Detecting Check-worthy Factual Claims in Presidential Debates
TLDR
This work prepared a U.S. presidential debate dataset and built classification models to distinguish check-worthy factual claims from non-factual claims and unimportant factual claims, and identified the most-effective features based on their impact on the classification models' accuracy.
Automated Fact Checking: Task Formulations, Methods and Future Directions
TLDR
