User Guidance for Efficient Fact Checking

Summary: A probabilistic framework combines human judgments with automated credibility inference to prioritize facts whose validation yields maximal benefit. Stopping, batching, and streaming techniques halve validation effort while producing knowledge bases exceeding 90% precision. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
