Abstract

If the user wants to know trustworthiness of a proposition, such as whether gthe Japanese Prime Minister is Junichiro Koizumih is true or false, conventional search engines are not appropriate. We therefore propose a system that helps the user to determine trustworthiness of a statement that he or she is unconfident about. In our research, we estimate trustworthiness of a proposition by aggregating knowledge from the Web and analyzing creation time of web pages. We propose a method to estimate popularity from temporal viewpoint by analyzing how many pages discussed the proposition in a certain period of time and how continuously it appeared on the Web.
