A Bayesian Approach to Discovering Truth from Conflicting Sources for Data Integration

Summary: Bayesian model for truth finding in data integration; infers true records and source quality, FP/FN modeling for multivalued attributes. Scalable, linear time, sampling-based inference with an incremental variant, outperforming prior methods on real data. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
