Dependencies

We recommend you create an anaconda environment:

conda create --name finfact python=3.6 conda-build

Then, install Python requirements:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Run models for paper metrics

We provide scripts let you easily run our dataset on existing state-of-the-art models and re-create the metrics published in paper. You should be able to reproduce our results from the paper by following these instructions. Please post an issue if you're unable to do this. To run existing ANLI models for fact checking.
