用简短推理链验证事实,小模型也能达到高准确率且结果可解释。
ThinknCheck: Grounded Claim Verification with Compact, Reasoning-Driven, and Interpretable Models
- 先生成结构化推理再判断真假,训练数据来自增强版事实数据集。
- 10亿参数模型在测试集上准确率达78.1%,比大模型少7倍参数仍更优。
- 适合需要可解释性与低资源部署的智能验证场景,如新闻核查。
我们提出ThinknCheck,一个10亿参数的可信声明验证模型,先生成简短结构化推理,再输出二分类结论。构建了包含24.1k样本的推理增强训练集LLMAggreFact-Think,基于4比特量化后的Gemma3模型进行微调。在LLMAggreFact数据集上,该模型取得78.1%的平衡准确率(BAcc),超越70亿参数的MiniCheck-7B(77.4%),且参数量仅为后者的1/7;若去除推理步骤,准确率降至57.5%。在SciFact数据集上,准确率达到64.7%,较MiniCheck-7B提升14.7个百分点。相比之下,直接使用基础Gemma3-1B进行零样本思维链会降低准确率,而仅用格式+准确率奖励的偏好优化也表现不佳。为深入分析,我们引入GSMClaims数据集及专用版本ThinknCheck-Science,后者在多项基准上均有提升,包括在GSMClaims上达到61.0%准确率。总体表明,显式、监督式推理使小型验证器在保持高效的同时具备竞争力与可解释性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
We present ThinknCheck, a 1B-parameter verifier for grounded claim verification that first produces a short, structured rationale and then a binary verdict. We construct LLMAggreFact-Think, a 24.1k reasoning-augmented training set derived from LLMAggreFact, and fine-tune a 4-bit Gemma3 model to follow this format. On LLMAggreFact, ThinknCheck attains 78.1 balanced accuracy (BAcc), surpassing MiniCheck-7B (77.4) with 7x fewer parameters; removing the reasoning step reduces BAcc to 57.5. On SciFact, ThinknCheck reaches 64.7 BAcc, a +14.7 absolute gain over MiniCheck-7B. By contrast, zero-shot chain-of-thought on the base Gemma3-1B harms accuracy relative to direct answers, and preference optimization with a simple format+accuracy reward underperforms supervised reasoning. To probe the latter, we introduce GSMClaims and a domain-specialized variant, ThinknCheck-Science, which improves across benchmarks, including 61.0\% accuracy on GSMClaims. Overall, explicit, supervised reasoning enables compact verifiers that are competitive while remaining resource-efficient and interpretable.
