This paper presents a zero-shot system for fact-checked claim retrieval. We employed several state-of-the-art large language models to obtain text embeddings. The models were then combined to obtain the best possible result. Our approach achieved 7th place in monolingual and 9th in cross-lingual subtasks. We used only English translations as an input to the text embedding models since multilingual models did not achieve satisfactory results. We identified the most relevant claims for each post by leveraging the embeddings and measuring cosine similarity. Overall, the best results were obtained by the NVIDIA NV-Embed-v2 model. For some languages, we benefited from model combinations (NV-Embed & GPT or Mistral).
