P2: An End-to-End Computational System for Monitoring and Verifying Factual Claims

This paper introduces VeriClaim, a computational fact-checking system that enables the automatic monitoring and verification of factual claims. VeriClaim is comprised of two computational modules: the claim-spotter, which first identifies check-worthy factual statements from swaths of online information, and the claim-checker, which verifies each statement using evidence retrieved from a multitude of knowledge resources. These two components are integrated and deployed in several ways, including a content-rich website and Chrome browser extension.
