Fact Checking Rocks! - How to build a fact checking system for rock music

Talkat PyCon Italia 2023 · 2023-05-25..05-28· [machine-learning]
slides:none on file

A working baseline fact‑checker for rock music that indexes Wikipedia passages, encodes them with sentence‑transformers, performs semantic retrieval via FAISS and scores claims with an entailment classifier built from Hugging Face Transformers. It returns the top passages, an entailment/contradiction/neutral probability and a summary score, and runs as a web demo on Hugging Face Spaces demo. Uses Haystack + FAISS + Transformers, accepts a single claim, and is limited to Wikipedia sources and no automated claim detection.
