In plain words: FAKTA checks a claim by searching news sources of varying trustworthiness, deciding which articles back or dispute it, and pulling out the exact sentences that count as evidence. It then gives a verdict plus document- and sentence-level proof, instead of just a true-or-false label.
Abstract · FAKTA: An Automatic End-to-End Fact Checking System
We present FAKTA which is a unified framework that integrates various components of a fact checking process: document retrieval from media sources with various types of reliability, stance detection of documents with respect to given claims, evidence extraction, and linguistic analysis. FAKTA predicts the factuality of given claims and provides evidence at the document and sentence level to explain its predictions
