Abstract
A system is disclosed for reconciling opinions generated by agents with respect to one or more predicates. The disclosed system may use observed variables and a probabilistic model including latent parameters to estimate a truth score associated with each of the predicates. The truth score, as well as one or more of the latent parameters of the probabilistic model, may be estimated based on the observed variables. The truth score generated by the disclosed system may enable publishers to reliably represent the truth of a predicate to interested users.
