A Synthetic Prediction Market for Estimating Confidence in Published Work

Computers and Society 2022-01-19 v1 Artificial Intelligence Information Retrieval Machine Learning Multiagent Systems

Abstract

Explainably estimating confidence in published scholarly work offers opportunity for faster and more robust scientific progress. We develop a synthetic prediction market to assess the credibility of published claims in the social and behavioral sciences literature. We demonstrate our system and detail our findings using a collection of known replication projects. We suggest that this work lays the foundation for a research agenda that creatively uses AI for peer review.
