• Abstract summary: We present a summarization model designed to generate claim-specific summaries useful for fact-checking from multimodal datasets. We introduce a dynamic perceiver-based model that can handle inputs from multiple modalities of arbitrary lengths. Our approach outperforms the SOTA approach by 4.6% in the claim verification task on the MOCHEG dataset.

• Abstract: Fact-checking real-world claims often requires reviewing multiple multimodal documents to assess a claim's truthfulness, which is a highly laborious and time-consuming task. In this paper, we present a summarization model designed to generate claim-specific summaries useful for fact-checking from multimodal, multi-document datasets. The model takes inputs in the form of documents, images, and a claim, with the objective of assisting in fact-checking tasks. We introduce a dynamic perceiver-based model that can handle inputs from multiple modalities of arbitrary lengths. To train our model, we leverage a novel reinforcement learning-based entailment objective to generate summaries that provide evidence distinguishing between different truthfulness labels. To assess the efficacy of our approach, we conduct experiments on both an existing benchmark and a new dataset of multi-document claims that we contribute. Our approach outperforms the SOTA approach by 4.6% in the claim verification task on the MOCHEG dataset and demonstrates strong performance on our new Multi-News-Fact-Checking dataset.

We find that multi-document tasks pose a significant challenge for LLMs, even for state-of-the-art models with 70B parameters.
