RAG-Fusion Based Information Retrieval for Fact-Checking
Yuki Momii | Tetsuya Takiguchi | Yasuo Ariki
Proceedings of the Seventh Fact Extraction and VERification Workshop (FEVER)

Fact-checking involves searching for relevant evidence and determining whether the given claim contains any misinformation. In this paper, we propose a fact verification system based on RAG-Fusion. We use GPT-4o to generate questions from the claim, which helps improve the accuracy of evidence retrieval.Additionally, we adopt GPT-4o for the final judgment module and refine the prompts to enhance the detection accuracy, particularly when the claim contains misinformation. Experiment showed that our system achieved an AVeriTeC Score of 0.3865 on the AVeriTeC test data, significantly surpassing the baseline score of 0.11.

Building a Knowledge-Based Dialogue System with Text Infilling
Qiang Xue | Tetsuya Takiguchi | Yasuo Ariki
Proceedings of the 23rd Annual Meeting of the Special Interest Group on Discourse and Dialogue

In recent years, generation-based dialogue systems using state-of-the-art (SoTA) transformer-based models have demonstrated impressive performance in simulating human-like conversations. To improve the coherence and knowledge utilization capabilities of dialogue systems, knowledge-based dialogue systems integrate retrieved graph knowledge into transformer-based models. However, knowledge-based dialog systems sometimes generate responses without using the retrieved knowledge. In this work, we propose a method in which the knowledge-based dialogue system can constantly utilize the retrieved knowledge using text infilling . Text infilling is the task of predicting missing spans of a sentence or paragraph. We utilize this text infilling to enable dialog systems to fill incomplete responses with the retrieved knowledge. Our proposed dialogue system has been proven to generate significantly more correct responses than baseline dialogue systems.
