Fact Verification in Knowledge Graphs Using LLMs

Automated fact-checking systems often struggle with trustworthiness, as they lack transparency in their reasoning processes and fail to handle relationships in data. This work presents FactCheck, a fact verification system topped by a web platform that shows how Large Language Models (LLMs) can be collectively used to verify facts within Knowledge Graphs (KGs). While the underlying verification engine implements a system that combines Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) with an ensemble of LLMs to validate KG facts, the platform focuses on making the results of this complex process as transparent and accessible as possible. Users can explore how different models interpret the same evidence, compare their reasoning patterns, and understand the factors that lead to the final verification result. The platform supports technical users who want to analyze the model behavior and general users who need to verify whether the facts in the dataset are correct.

Abstract

Automated fact-checking systems often struggle with trustworthiness, as they lack transparency in their reasoning processes and fail to handle relationships in data. This work presents FactCheck, a fact verification system topped by a web platform that shows how Large Language Models (LLMs) can be collectively used to verify facts within Knowledge Graphs (KGs). While the underlying verification engine implements a system that combines Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) with an ensemble of LLMs to validate KG facts, the platform focuses on making the results of this complex process as transparent and accessible as possible. Users can explore how different models interpret the same evidence, compare their reasoning patterns, and understand the factors that lead to the final verification result. The platform supports technical users who want to analyze the model behavior and general users who need to verify whether the facts in the dataset are correct.
