WildClaims: Conversational Information Access in the Wild(Chat)

Hideaki Joko, Shakiba Amirshahi, Charles L. A. Clarke, Faegheh Hasibi

ECIR 2026 · First arXiv submission

Examines factual information conveyed by chatbot responses, including when the user's main task is editing or creative writing. It releases extracted claims and check-worthiness annotations to study information access beyond explicit questions.

Dataset and scope

3,000 sampled English WildChat conversations after excluding math and coding; the paper does not identify an exact dataset revision.

Selected finding

WildClaims contains 121,905 extracted claims from 7,587 assistant utterances; estimated check-worthy-conversation prevalence varies substantially with the annotation method.

Section 3 and Table 2 specify selection and annotation counts; the prevalence analysis distinguishes conservative and more permissive classification choices. Read the source.
