Knowledge Verification for Long-Tail Verticals

Summary: Knowledge verification for tail verticals; presents FACTY, a framework combining evidence from KBs, the web, and query logs with evidence fusion to verify triples. FACTY verifies 50% of correct tail knowledge at 84% precision; outperforms baselines. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
