# OpenFactVerification: An Open-source Tool for Fact Verification
# Loki: An Open-source Tool for Fact Verification

## Overview
OpenFactChecking is our open-source solution designed to automate the process of verifying factuality. It provides a comprehensive pipeline for dissecting long texts into individual claims, assessing their worthiness for verification, generating queries for evidence search, crawling for evidence, and ultimately verifying the claims. This tool is especially useful for journalists, researchers, and anyone interested in the factuality of information.

## Components
- **Decomposer:** Splits a long text into several independent claims for further processing.
- **Checkworthy:** Evaluates each claim to determine if it's worth checking. For example, vague claims like "MBZUAI has a vast campus" are considered unworthy because of the ambiguous nature of "vast."
- **Query Generator:** For each check-worthy claim, generates queries to search for evidence on search engines, aiding in the validation of the claim's authenticity.
- **Evidence Crawler:** Uses search engines to find evidence based on the queries generated, collecting results for analysis.
- **ClaimVerify:** Analyzes the search results to ascertain the accuracy of the claims.
- **Decomposer:** Breaks down extensive texts into digestible, independent claims, setting the stage for detailed analysis.
- **Checkworthy:** Assesses each claim's potential significance, filtering out vague or ambiguous statements to focus on those that truly matter. For example, vague claims like "MBZUAI has a vast campus" are considered unworthy because of the ambiguous nature of "vast."
- **Query Generator:** Transforms check-worthy claims into precise queries, ready to navigate the vast expanse of the internet in search of truth.
- **Evidence Crawler:** Ventures into the digital realm, retrieving relevant evidence that forms the foundation of informed verification.
- **ClaimVerify:** Examines the gathered evidence, determining the veracity of each claim to uphold the integrity of information.
