Abstract
A method and system are arranged for fact checking electronically posted claims. The system includes an input/output device for inputting a textual complex claim as a natural language statement with a combination of two or more facts and outputting an indication that the textual complex claim is true or false. A processor connected to the input/output device generates, by a program generation module, a reasoning program for the input complex claim as a sequence of reasoning steps, where each step directs to a function in a set of sub-task functions. The processor generates, by a program execution module, each step in the reasoning program to a respective sub-task function and executes the respective sub-task function in order to provide the outputted indication.
