Machine Learning Approach to Fact-checking in West Slavic Languages
Proceedings of the International Conference Recent Advances in Natural Language Processing, RANLP 2019 (2019)
Abstract
Fake news detection and closely-related fact-checking have recently attracted a lot of attention. Automatization of these tasks has been already studied for English. For other languages, only a few studies can be found (e.g. (Baly et al., 2018)), and to the best of our knowledge, no research has been conducted for West Slavic languages. In this paper, we present datasets for Czech, Polish, and Slovak. We also ran initial experiments which set a baseline for further research into this area.
