In this work, we introduce MultiReflect, a novel multimodal self-reflective Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)-based automated fact-checking pipeline. MultiReflect is designed to address the challenges of rapidly outdated information, limitations in human query capabilities, and expert knowledge barriers in fact-checking. Our proposed pipeline leverages the latest advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) to enhance fact verification across text and images. Specifically, by integrating multimodal data processing with RAG-based evidence reflection, our system improves the accuracy of fact-checking by utilizing internet-sourced verification. We evaluate our results on the VERITE benchmarks and using several multimodal LLMs, outperforming baselines in binary classification.
