FactCheckBureau: Build Your Own Fact-Check Analysis Pipeline

Fact-checkers are overwhelmed by the volume of claims they need to pay attention to fight misinformation.Even once debunked, a claim may still be spread by people unaware that it is false, or it may be recycled as a source of inspiration by malicious users.Hence, the importance of fact-check (FC) retrieval as a research problem: given a claim and a database of previous checks, find the checks relevant to the claim.Existing solutions addressing this problem rely on the strategy of retrieve and re-rank relevant documents.We have built FactCheckBureau, an end-to-end solution that enables researchers to easily and interactively design and evaluate FC retrieval pipelines.We also present a corpus 1 we have built, which can be used in further research to test fact-check retrieval tools.The source code of our tool is available at this link 2 .
