Gradient-Based Adversarial Training on Transformer Networks for Detecting Check-Worthy Factual Claims

This paper presents the latest developments to ClaimBuster?s claim-spotting model, which tackles the critical task of identifying check-worthy claims from large streams of information. We introduce the first adversarially-regularized, transformer-based claim-spotting model, which achieves state-of-t...

description This paper presents the latest developments to ClaimBuster?s claim-spotting model, which tackles the critical task of identifying check-worthy claims from large streams of information. We introduce the first adversarially-regularized, transformer-based claim-spotting model, which achieves state-of-the-art results on several bench-mark datasets. In addition to analyzing model performance metrics, we also quantitatively and qualitatively analyze the impact of ClaimBuster?s real-world deployment. Moreover, to help facilitate reproducibility and community engagement, we publicly release our codebase, dataset, data curation platform, API, Google Colab notebooks, and various ClaimBuster-based demo systems, at claimbuster.org.
