SLiMFast: Guaranteed Results for Data Fusion and Source Reliability

Summary: SLiMFast reframes data fusion as discriminative models (logistic regression) to estimate source accuracies with guarantees. It uses domain knowledge to boost accuracy (up to 50%) and includes an optimizer that automatically selects learning algorithms. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
