What is MMCV?
MMCV is a multimodal claim verification dataset featuring natural, multi-hop claims, with strong supervision for supporting facts to enable more explainable fact-checking systems. It is collected by a team of NLP researchers at Illinois Institute of Technology, and Emory University.

Evaluation
As explained in the Sec 5 of the paper, zero-shot multimodal claim verification using various MLLMs under two settings. In the closed-book setting, the model does not retrieve information from external knowledge sources and must rely on its parametric (internal) knowledge to verify the claim. In the open-book setting, the model is provided with a set of gold evidence. Please refer to our evaluation script provided below for calculating the performance metrics.Citation
