Inferring Trust

چکیده
In this paper we discuss Liau’s logic of Belief, Inform and Trust (BIT), which captures the use of trust to infer beliefs from acquired information. However, the logic does not capture the derivation of trust from other notions. We therefore suggest the following two extensions. First, like Liau we observe that trust in information from an agent depends on the topic of the information. We extend BIT with a formalization of topics which are used to infer trust in a proposition from trust in another proposition, if both propositions have the same topics. Second, for many applications, communication primitives other than inform are required. We extend BIT with questions, and discuss the relationship with belief, inform and trust. An answer to a question can lead to trust, when the answer conforms to the beliefs of the agent.

Prediction of user's trustworthiness in web-based social networks via text mining
In Social networks, users need a proper estimation of trust in others to be able to initialize reliable relationships. Some trust evaluation mechanisms have been offered, which use direct ratings to calculate or propagate trust values. However, in some web-based social networks where users only have binary relationships, there is no direct rating available. Therefore, a new method is required t...

We consider a type of applications where collaboration and trust are tightly coupled with the need to protect sensitive information. Existing trust management technologies have been limited to offering generic mechanisms for enforcing access control policies based on exchanged credentials, and rarely deal with the situated meaning of trust in a specific collaborative context. Towards trust mana...
متن کاملPersonalizing Applications through Integration of Inferred Trust Values in Semantic Web-Based Social Networks
Social Network data, represented using the FOAF Vocabulary, is some of the most prevalent data on the Semantic Web. In this work, we look particularly at trust relationships in web-based social networks and their implications for software personalization. We present a network analysis as the foundation for TidalTrust, and algorithm for inferring trust relationships, and then illustrate how the ...
