Theore: Theory-Driven Curation and Reusable Robustness Calculus of Social and Behavioral Sciences (SBS) Claims

Abstract

The goal of our Theore project is to demonstrate the feasibility of computationally reasoning about the robustness of SBS claims based on a quantitative model that captures the connections between SBS claims, including and especially conflicting ones, through their shared constructs, relationships, theories and studies. In this project, we developed novel mixture-decomposition algorithms specifically for Theore to meet this goal.
