Is a Picture Worth a Thousand Words? Adaptive Multimodal Fact-Checking with Visual Evidence Necessity

1. 1Identify the limitations of text-only fact-checking
2. 2Develop a multimodal fact-checking approach that incorporates visual evidence
3. 3Determine the necessity of visual evidence for each fact-checking task
4. 4Implement an adaptive system that selectively uses visual information to improve performance

Data scientists and AI engineers on a team benefit from this research as it provides a more effective approach to fact-checking, while product managers can apply these findings to develop more accurate and reliable fact-checking systems

💡 Indiscriminate use of multimodal fact-checking does not always improve performance, and selective use of visual evidence is necessary for optimal results
