Finding evidence for claims from content presented in experimental results of scientific articles is difficult.The evidence is often presented in the form of tables and figures, and correctly matching it to scientific claims presents automation challenges.The Context24 shared task is launched to support the development of systems able to verify claims by extracting supporting evidence from articles.We explore different facets of this shared task modelled as a search problem and as an information extraction task.We experiment with a range of methods in each of these categories for the two subtasks of evidence identification and grounding context identification in the Context24 shared task.
