A Systematic Survey of Claim Verification: Corpora, Systems, and Case Studies

ACL ARR 2025 May Submission4192 Authors

Abstract: Automated Claim Verification (CV), where claim's veracity is assessed against explicitly provided reference materials, is crucial in combating escalating online misinformation. This survey carefully analyzed 198 studies published between January 2022 and March 2025 to summarize recent work on corpus creation, system architectures, and the integration of large language models. We also conducted two case studies: the first looks at the relationship between claims and references. The second examines issues in claim decomposition. Our findings illuminate common corpus construction strategies and emerging trends in system architectures while highlighting remaining challenges in CV research.
