abstract:
- lang: eng
  text: " We consider fact-checking approaches that aim to predict the veracity of
    assertions in knowledge graphs. Five main categories of fact-checking approaches
    for knowledge graphs have been proposed in the recent literature, of\r\nwhich
    each is subject to partially overlapping limitations. In particular, current text-based
    approaches are limited by manual feature engineering. Path-based and rule-based
    approaches are limited by their exclusive use of knowledge graphs as background
    knowledge, and embedding-based approaches suffer from low accuracy scores on current
    fact-checking tasks. We propose a hybrid approach—dubbed HybridFC—that exploits
    the diversity of existing categories of fact-checking approaches within an ensemble
    learning setting to achieve a significantly better prediction performance. In
    particular, our approach outperforms the state of the art by 0.14 to 0.27 in terms
    of Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve on the FactBench dataset.
    Our code is open-source and can be found at https://github.com/dice-group/HybridFC."
