A Benchmark for Automated Fact Checking with Knowledge Bases

The need for automated / computational fact checking has grown substantially in recent times due to the high volume of false information and limited workforce of human fact checkers. This need has spawned research and new developments in this field and has created many different systems and approaches to this complex problem. This paper attempts to not just explain the most popular methods that are currently being used, but provide experimental results of the comparison of two different systems, the replication of results from their respective papers, and an annotated data-set of different test sentences to be used in these systems.
