New Turkish Video Fact-Checking Dataset and Pipelines Released

Researchers have introduced TeViD, the first multimodal video fact-checking dataset specifically for the Turkish language. This dataset was compiled from articles by an IFCN-certified organization and augmented with translated content and synthetic examples to address class imbalance. Two verification pipelines were developed using open-source models: 3MFact-TR, which adapts a multi-role framework with Qwen models and includes custom modules for semantic checking and evidence retrieval, and a fine-tuned Qwen2.5-7B model that directly produces verdicts from claims and video descriptions. AI

IMPACT This work addresses a gap in low-resource language fact-checking, potentially improving the detection of misinformation in Turkish video content.

RANK_REASON The cluster describes a new academic dataset and associated research pipelines for multimodal video fact-checking in Turkish. [lever_c_demoted from research: ic=1 ai=1.0]

    Turkish Multimodal Video Fact-Checking: A New Dataset and a Comparison of Zero-Shot Agentic and Fine-Tuned Systems

    arXiv:2611.08651v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Video-based misinformation spreads rapidly on social media, but almost all existing fact-checking systems focus exclusively on English text. Tools for low-resource languages such as Turkish are severely limited. In this work, we p…
