The dataset, comprising more than 185,000 evidence-backed claims, is being made available to hopefully catalyze research and development that addresses the problems of fact extraction and verification in software applications or cloud-based services that perform automatic information extraction. \n\n![Portrait of Arpit Mittal, an Amazon senior machine learning scientist](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/d656970/2147483647/strip/true/crop/2078x1385+0+865/resize/300x200!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2Fab%2F3f%2F359318dc42e68fe0a5122f4e2ed5%2Farpit-mittal.jpeg)\n\n### Arpit Mittal\n\nAmazon senior machine learning scientist\n\nIn a blog post published earlier today, Amazon scientist Arpit Mittal says the dataset could be used to train artificial intelligence systems to extract verifiable information, adding that this effort could further advance AI systems capable of answering any question with verifiable information. \n\nIn addition to making the dataset publicly available, the researchers are also organizing a public machine-learning competition, inviting academic and industry colleagues to tackle the problem. Results from the competition will be presented at the Fact Extraction and Verification (FEVER) workshop that will be held later this year in conjunction with the [2018 Conference](http://emnlp2018.org/) on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing. \n\nMore details about the dataset and broader initiative are available on the project [website](http://fever.ai/) and in the researchers’ [FEVER paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.05355), which will be published next month in the proceedings of the 16th Annual Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (NAACL 2018).","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"About Amazon","url":"https://www.aboutamazon.com","sameAs":["https://x.com/amazonnews","https://www.linkedin.com/company/amazon","https://www.instagram.com/amazonnews"],"logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://assets.aboutamazon.com/bd/8f/88e7b0314cc2bd05b9de3155a0fe/amazon-news.svg"},"parentOrganization":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Amazon","url":"https://www.amazon.com","sameAs":["https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3884","https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_(company)","https://x.com/Amazon"]}}}
