AtomEval: Validity-Aware Atomic Evaluation of Adversarial Claim Rewriting in Fact Verification
Large language models (LLMs) can rewrite refuted claims to evade evidence-based fact verifiers, but conventional attack success rate (ASR) can be inflated when rewrites change, weaken, or correct the false proposition they are supposed to preserve. We introduce AtomEval, a validity-aware evaluation protocol for fixed-evidence adversarial claim rewriting. AtomEval represents claims as subject--relation--object--modifier (SROM) atoms, applies a one-way preservation gate to separate valid verifier evasion from proposition-changing rewrites, and reports validity-aware attack success rate (VASR), which counts only verifier-evasive rewrites that preserve the original false proposition. AtomEval...
