arXiv:2401.15498v2 Announce Type: replace
Abstract: This paper investigates the potential benefits of language-specific fact-checking models, focusing on the case of Chinese. We first demonstrate the limitations of translation-based methods and multilingual large language models (e.g., GPT-4), highlighting the need for language-specific systems. We further propose a Chinese fact-checking system that can better retrieve evidence from a document by incorporating context information. To better analyze token-level biases in different systems, we construct an adversarial dataset based on the CHEF dataset, where …
