Researchers have developed AMuFC, a new framework for multimodal fact-checking that adaptively uses visual evidence. Contrary to the common assumption that visual information always improves accuracy, this work demonstrates that indiscriminate use of images can decrease fact-checking performance. AMuFC employs two distinct vision-language models that collaborate to determine the necessity of visual evidence, showing improved effectiveness on multiple datasets, including the newly introduced WebFC dataset.
