AI Techniques in Computational and Automated Fact Checking
This special issue belongs to the section “Computing and Artificial Intelligence“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is devoted to Computational and Automated Fact Checking.
Today, with the spread of misinformation, automatically verifying textual claims against public data is crucial. Indeed, manual verification takes time and is expensive and fails to scale to a large volume of verified claims. AI, with the help of progress in natural language processing and natural language generation, will help toward advancements in textual understanding. Nevertheless, matching textual claims with tabular data is still challenging.
This Special Issue aims not only to collect the latest applications of AI techniques to computational and automated fact checking, but also to collect advancements in the field of information retrieval and query answering.
