Abstract

Standard temporal models assume that observation times are correct, whereas in many real-world settings (particularly those involving human data entry) noisy time stamps are quite common. Serious problems arise when these time stamps are taken literally. This paper introduces a modeling framework for handling uncertainty in observation times and describes inference algorithms that, under certain reasonable assumptions about the nature of time-stamp errors, have linear time complexity.
