Knowledge-Based Trust: Estimating the Trustworthiness of Web Sources
Summary: Introduces Knowledge-Based Trust (KBT), estimating webpage reliability from the correctness of extracted factual claims rather than hyperlinks. A multilayer probabilistic model jointly separates extraction errors from source inaccuracies, scaling to 2.8B facts and 119M webpages. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
