To address these two requirements, we propose a model-agnostic framework that includes two modules: (i) a span extractor that aims to identify in the evidence the pieces of relevant information that are informative with respect to the claim; (ii) a classifier that uses the claim, evidence and extracted spans to predict whether the evidence is supporting, refuting or containing insufficient information.

To provide a strong base-line for FEVER, Thorne et al. (2018) proposed a pipeline consisting of document and sentence retrieval and a multi-layer perceptron as textual entailment recognizer. More sophisticated models followed. Among them, the Bi-Directional Attention Flow (BiDAF) network (Seo et al., 2016a) , originally introduced for machine comprehension, has been recently adapted to the task of fact verification (Tokala et al., 2019) . BiDAF combines LSTMs with both a context-to-query and query-tocontext attention, to produce a query-aware context representation at multiple hierarchical levels. Nie et al. (2019) introduced the Neural Semantic Matching Networks (NSMNs), which aligns two encoded texts and computes the semantic matching between the aligned representations with LSTMs and used it to earn the first place in the first competitions organized on the FEVER dataset. Soleimani et al. (2019) exploits the contextualized representations of a pre-trained BERT (Devlin et al., 2019) model for both sentence selection and fact verification.", |

| "text": "To test our assumption, we consider three neural network architectures that have achieved the best performance on the first FEVER shared Task recently: BiDAF (Seo et al., 2016b) , NSMN (Nie et al., 2019) and BERT (Devlin et al., 2019) . Note that the architecture of M classifier is independent of M span . The spans extracted by M classifier are forwarded to the classifier by concatenating them to the original evidence, followed by a separator token. BiDAF consists of four layers: (i) the embedding layer, which encodes two raw text sequences (i.e. C and E) into two vector sequences\u0108 and\u00ca; (ii) the attention layer, which computes the attention scores between the two sequences and returns two attended sequences C A and E A ; (iii) the modeling layer, which takes C A and E A as input and outputs two fixed size vectors,\u0108 A and\u00ca A , that capture the semantic similarity between the original sequences; and (iv) the output layer, which takes\u0108 A and\u00ca A and returns the output labels. NSMN encodes C and E into vector sequences\u0108 and\u00ca, similarly to BiDAF. It then applies an alignment layer, which computes the alignment matrix, A =\u0108 T\u00ca , and the aligned representations, C A and E A , using\u0108,\u00ca, A. It follows a matching layer, which performs semantic matching using LSTM between C A and\u0108, as well as E A and\u00ca, to output matching matrices M C and M E , which are finally pooled by the output layer and mapped to output labels. BERT (we use the base-uncased version) consists of 12 encoder layers with self-attention (enc 1 , . . . , enc 12 ) and one classification layer. Each encoder enc i takes an input sequence I i\u22121 and outputs I i , a sequence of the same length where each token is replaced with an embedding capturing its relationship with the other words in I i\u22121 . The output of enc i becomes the input of enc i+1 . I 0 is set as the concatenation of C and E, preceded by the special [CLS] token. The output of the last encoder enc 12 is therefore an highly embedded representation of C and E. It is passed to the classification layer which maps the representation of the [CLS] token to the output labels.", |
