Jake Vasilakes, Zhixue Zhao, Michal Gregor, Ivan Vykopal, Martin Hyben, Carolina Scarton

Abstract: Addressing online disinformation requires analysing narratives across languages to help fact-checkers and journalists sift through large amounts of data. The ExU project focuses on developing AI-based models for multilingual disinformation analysis, addressing the tasks of rumour stance classification and claim retrieval. We describe the ExU project proposal and summarise the results of a user requirements survey regarding the design of tools to support fact-checking.
