متن کاملLanguage-Aware Truth Assessment of Fact Candidates
This paper introduces FactChecker, language-aware approach to truth-finding. FactChecker differs from prior approaches in that it does not rely on iterative peer voting, instead it leverages language to infer believability of fact candidates. In particular, FactChecker makes use of linguistic features to detect if a given source objectively states facts or is speculative and opinionated. To ens...

The vast amount of information on the Web poses a challenge when trying to identify the most important facts. Many fact ranking algorithms have emerged, however, thus far there is a lack of a general domain, objective gold standard that would serve as an evaluation benchmark for comparing such systems. We present FRanCo, a ground truth for fact ranking acquired using crowdsourcing. The corpus i...
متن کاملRejection and Truth-Value Gaps
A theorem due to Shoesmith and Smiley that axiomatizes twovalued multiple-conclusion logics is extended to partial logics. Rumfitt [1] extends Smiley’s [3] discussion of rejection by axiomatizing a calculus where truth values of sentences are given by truth tables that admit truth-value gaps. “The Smiley multiple-conclusion consequence relation” for the calculus is defined over assertions and r...

We provide in this paper normative justifications for alternative equitysensitive models, such as the so-called models of multiplicative QALYs, multiplicative HYEs, and gene...
