%X The success of deep learning models on multi-hop fact verification has prompted researchers to understand the behavior behind their veracity. One feasible way is erasure search: obtaining the rationale by entirely removing a subset of input without compromising verification accuracy. Despite extensive exploration, current rationalization methods struggle to discern nuanced composition within the correlated evidence, which inevitably leads to noise rationalization in multi-hop scenarios. To address this issue, this paper explores the multi-granular rationale extraction method, aiming to realize the denoising rationalization for multi-hop fact verification. Specifically, given a pretrained veracity prediction model, two independent external explainers are introduced and trained collaboratively to enhance the discriminating ability by imposing varied constraints.
