How to use the dataset

The SciFact dataset is an expert-written collection of 1.4K scientific claims, paired with evidence-containing abstracts, and annotated with labels and rationales. This dataset can aid researchers in exploring different aspects of scientific claims and uncovering the truth behind them.

Research Ideas

Autocomplete factual reports and articles: This dataset can be used to build an autocomplete system that suggests relevant pieces of evidence for a scientific claim based on the nature of the query.

Fact checking: This dataset can be used to build models that detect false claims and warn against them by notifying readers when they are reading content that contains false information.

Developing educational AI tools: This dataset can be utilized to develop AI tools tailored towards helping students understand how to interpret scientific evidence and learn how different experts in different fields use evidence to support or refute claims presented by others
