Researchers have developed ProFact, a novel agentic reinforcement learning framework designed to optimize multi-stage fact verification processes. This framework trains a unified policy to coordinate various stages, including claim decomposition, evidence gathering, and verdict prediction. ProFact addresses the challenge of sparse supervision by introducing process-aware rewards that offer learning signals at each stage, leading to improved verification performance and efficiency compared to existing methods.
