Fact verification is a challenging task that requires retrieving evidence from a corpus and verifying claims. This paper proposes Co-attention Networks with Graph Transformer (CNGT), a novel end-to-end reasoning framework for fact verification. CNGT constructs an evidence graph given a claim and retrieved evidence, uses a graph transformer to capture semantic interactions among the claim and evidence, and learns global node representations of the evidence graph via self-attention mechanisms and block networks. Deep co-attention networks integrate and reason on the evidence and claim simultaneously. Experiments on FEVER, a public large-scale benchmark dataset, demonstrate that CNGT achieves a 72.84% FEVER score and a 76.93% label accuracy score, outperforming state-of-the-art baselines. CNGT has de-noising and integrated reasoning abilities and case studies show that it can explain reasoning at the evidence level.
