Fact Checking in Community Question Answering Forums

This repository contains the data for SemEval 2019 Task 8: Fact Checking in Community Question Answering Forums.

According to several requests and because of recent problems with Codalab, we are putting here the data used in the shared task.

SemEval 2019 Task 8

The data here was collected as part of a shared task in SemEval 2019 (http://alt.qcri.org/semeval2019/).

Here is our task description paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1906.01727

Here is the competition website in Codalab: https://competitions.codalab.org/competitions/20022. Unfortunately, Codalab had problems recently and most of the information about the competition was lost. Therefore, we put the leaderboard from the competition outside of it here.
