Due to the sheer size of knowledge graphs, automatic fact-checking approaches have been developed. These approaches rely on reference knowledge to decide whether a given assertion is correct. Recent hybrid approaches achieve good results by including several knowledge sources. However, it is often impractical to provide a sheer quantity of textual knowledge or generate embedding models to leverage these hybrid approaches. We present FaVEL, an approach that uses algorithm selection and ensemble learning to amalgamate several existing fact-checking approaches that rely solely on a reference knowledge graph and, hence, use fewer resources than current hybrid approaches. For our evaluation, we create updated versions of two existing datasets and a new dataset dubbed FaVEL-DS. Our evaluation compares our approach to 15 fact-checking approaches—including the state-of-the-art approach HybridFC—on 3 datasets. Our results demonstrate that FaVEL outperforms all other approaches significantly by at least 0.04 in terms of the area under the ROC curve. Our source code, datasets, and evaluation results are open-source and can be found at https://github.com/dice-group/favel."}],"publication":"EKAW 2024","conference":{"name":"24th International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management","start_date":"2024-11-26","end_date":"2024-11-28","location":"Amsterdam, Netherlands"},"author":[{"orcid":"0000-0001-6714-8729","last_name":"Qudus","full_name":"Qudus, Umair","id":"83392","first_name":"Umair"},{"first_name":"Michael","full_name":"Röder, Michael","id":"67199","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8609-8277","last_name":"Röder"},{"first_name":"Franck Lionel","full_name":"Tatkeu Pekarou, Franck Lionel","last_name":"Tatkeu Pekarou"},{"last_name":"Morim da Silva","id":"72108","full_name":"Morim da Silva, Ana Alexandra","first_name":"Ana Alexandra"},{"first_name":"Axel-Cyrille","full_name":"Ngonga Ngomo, Axel-Cyrille","id":"65716","last_name":"Ngonga Ngomo"}],"date_updated":"2025-09-11T09:48:12Z","citation":{"ieee":"U.
