Task-Oriented Automatic Fact-Checking with Frame-Semantics

ACL 2025finding

We propose a novel paradigm for automatic fact-checking that leverages frame semantics to enhance the structured understanding of claims and guide the process of fact-checking them. To support this, we introduce a pilot dataset of real-world claims extracted from PolitiFact, specifically annotated f…

Robust Frame-Semantic Models with Lexical Unit Trees and Negative Samples

ACL 2024long

We present novel advancements in frame-semantic parsing, specifically focusing on target identification and frame identification. Our target identification model employs a novel prefix tree modification to enable robust support for multi-word lexical units, resulting in a coverage of 99.4% of the ta…
