A Bayesian Approach to Discovering Truth from Conflicting Sources for Data Integration
Summary: Unsupervised Bayesian graphical model jointly infers source reliability and truths from conflicting records, explicitly separating false-positive and false-negative behavior. Supports multivalued attributes with scalable linear-time sampling and incremental inference. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
