With an upsurge in social media, users have been exposed to many misleading claims. However, the ubiquitous noise in these posts makes it difficult for manual fact-checkers to quickly identify specific and precise claims that need verification. Given a noisy, unstructured social media post, the task is to simplify it into a concise form. Therefore, we aim to bridge this gap by decomposing social media posts into simpler, more comprehensible forms, which are referred to as normalized claims.
