DOMLIN at SemEval-2019 Task 8: Automated Fact Checking exploiting Ratings in Community Question Answering Forums
Dominik Stammbach, Stalin Varanasi, Guenter Neumann · 2019
In the following, we describe our system developed for the Semeval2019 Task 8. We finetuned a BERT checkpoint on the qatar living forum dump and used this checkpoint to train a number of models.Our hand-in for subtask A consists of a fine-tuned classifier from this BERT checkpoint.For subtask B, we first have a classifier deciding whether a comment is factual or non-factual.If it is factual, we retrieve intra-forum evidence and using this evidence, have a classifier deciding the comment's veracity.We trained this classifier on ratings which we crawled from qatarliving.com.
