The Alignment Bottleneck in Decomposition-Based Claim Verification

IJCAI 2026

Structured claim decomposition is often proposed as a solution for verifying complex, multi-faceted claims, yet empirical results have been inconsistent. We argue that these inconsistencies stem from two overlooked bottlenecks: evidence alignment and sub-claim error profiles. To better understand th

Assessing the Reasoning Capabilities of LLMs in the context of Evidence-based Claim Verification

ACL 2025finding

Although LLMs have shown great performance on Mathematics and Coding related reasoning tasks, the reasoning capabilities of LLMs regarding other forms of reasoning are still an open problem. Here, we examine the issue of reasoning from the perspective of claim verification. We propose a framework de…

Enhancing Logical Reasoning in Language Models via Symbolically-Guided Monte Carlo Process Supervision

EMNLP 2025

Large language models (LLMs) have shown strong performance in many reasoning benchmarks. However, recent studies have pointed to memorization, rather than generalization, as one of the leading causes for such performance. LLMs, in fact, are susceptible to content variations, demonstrating a lack of

Temporal reasoning for timeline summarisation in social media

ACL 2025long

This paper explores whether enhancing temporal reasoning capabilities in Large Language Models (LLMs) can improve the quality of timeline summarisation, the task of summarising long texts containing sequences of events, such as social media threads. We first introduce NarrativeReason, a novel datase…
