Dataset Protocol

This project locks data protocol before model training.

ViFactCheck

Main protocol uses Statement plus retrieved chunks from Context. The gold Evidence field is diagnostic only: upper-bound, recall/rationale checks, and audit support. It must not be used as main verifier input.

AVeriTeC

The local official test.json is hidden-style and does not contain labels or QA evidence. It is prediction-only unless official evaluation labels are available. Local evaluation uses official dev as local_test; official train is deduplicated against official dev by normalized claim hash, then group-split into train_inner and dev_inner.

HealthVer

Main unit is pair-level claim + evidence -> label, matching the dataset structure. Claim-level grouped files are produced for robustness and aggregation analysis only.
