Previous editions of CheckThat! focused on the main tasks of the information verification pipeline: check-worthiness, identifying previously fact-checked claims, supporting evidence retrieval, and claim verification. In this edition, we introduced some new challenges, offering six tasks in fifteen languages (Arabic, Bulgarian, English, Dutch, French, Georgian, German, Greek, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Slovene, Spanish, and code-mixed Hindi-English): Task 1 on estimation of check-worthiness (the only task that has been present in all CheckThat! editions), Task 2 on identification of subjectivity (a follow up of the CheckThat! 2023 edition), Task 3 on identification of the use of persuasion techniques (a follow up of SemEval 2023), Task 4 on detection of hero, villain, and victim from memes (a follow up of CONSTRAINT 2022), Task 5 on rumor verification using evidence from authorities (new task), and Task 6 on robustness of credibility assessment with adversarial examples (new task). These are challenging classification and retrieval problems at the document and at the span level, including multilingual and multimodal settings. This year, CheckThat! was one of the most popular labs at CLEF-2024 in terms of team registrations: 130 teams. More than one-third of them (a total of 46) actually participated.

The first five editions of the CheckThat! lab focused on the main tasks of the information verification pipeline: check-worthiness, evidence retrieval and pairing, and verification. Since the 2023 edition, the lab has broadened the focus and addressed new problems on auxiliary tasks supporting research and decision-making during the verification process. In the 2025 edition of the lab, we consider tasks at the core of the verification pipeline again as well as auxiliary tasks: Task 1 is on identification of subjectivity (a follow up of the CheckThat! 2024 edition), Task 2 is on claim normalization, Task 3 addresses fact-checking numerical claims, and Task 4 focuses on scientific web discourse processing. These tasks represent challenging classification and retrieval problems at the document and at the span level, including multilingual settings.

Lab : Subjectivity, Fact-Checking, Claim Normalization, and Retrieval T2 - Experimental IR Meets Multilinguality, Multimodality, and Interaction : 16th International Conference of the CLEF Association, CLEF 2025, Madrid, Spain, September 9–12, 2025, Proceedings N2 - This paper presents the eighth edition of the CheckThat! lab, part of the 2025 Conference and Labs of the Evaluation Forum (CLEF). As in previous editions of CheckThat!, the lab offers tasks from the core of the verification pipeline, including check-worthiness, identifying previously fact-checked claims, supporting evidence retrieval, and claim verification as well as auxiliary tasks addressing different facets of individual steps of the pipeline: Task 1 is on identification of subjectivity (a follow-up of the CheckThat! 2024 edition), which is related to the check-worthiness task, Task 2 is on claim normalization, Task 3 addresses fact-checking numerical claims, and Task 4 focuses on scientific web discourse processing. These challenging classification and retrieval problems are offered in different mono-, multi- and crosslingual settings covering more than 20 languages. This year, CheckThat! was one of the most popular labs at CLEF-2025 in terms of team registrations: 177 teams registered, almost half of them actually participating (a total of 83 teams) and 54 submitted system description papers.
