dc.description.abstract | Trust and reputation are significant components in open dynamic systems for making informed and reliable decisions. State-of-the-art information fusion models that exploit these mechanisms generally rely on reports from as many sources as possible. Situations exist, however, where seeking evidence from all possible sources is unrealistic. Querying information sources is costly especially in resource-constrained environments, in terms of time and bandwidth. In addition, reports from multiple sources expose one to the risk of double-counting evidence, introducing an extra challenge of distinguishing fact from rumour. This paper describes TIDY (Trust-based Information fusion through DiversitY), a trust-based approach to information fusion that exploits diversity among information sources in order to select a small number of candidates to query for evidence, and to minimise the effect of correlated evidence and bias. We demonstrate that reliable decisions can be reached using evidence from small groups of individuals. We show empirically that our approach is robust in contexts of variable trust in information sources, and to a degree of deception. | |
