Argument-structured Summarization

This module analyzes a fact-checking article or a list of pieces of evidence. Then it produces an argument-structured summary indicating claims, premises, and argument relations. An argument graph is also provided.

Retrieval-based Summarization

This module retrieves relevant pieces of evidence to fact-check claims then formulates the evidence in an argument-structured summary. It includes datasets such as LIAR-PLUS, FNC-1, Check-Covid, and ExClaim. Users can also provide their own custom corpora tailored to their specific interests.

Fake News Classification

This module uses a claim enriched with the argument-structured summary as input and produces a truthfulness label using the state-of-the-art FNC method.
