There are many applications where the truth is unknown. The truth values are

guessed by different sources. The values of different properties can be obtained from

various sources. These will lead to the disagreement in sources. An important task

is to obtain the truth from these sometimes contradictory sources. In the extension

of computing the truth, the reliability of sources needs to be computed. There are

models which compute the precision values. In those earlier models Banerjee et al.

(2005) Dong and Naumann (2009) Kasneci et al. (2011) Li et al. (2012) Marian and

Wu (2011) Zhao and Han (2012) Zhao et al. (2012), multiple properties are modeled

individually. In one of the existing works, the heterogeneous properties are modeled in

a joined way. In that work, the framework i.e. Conflict Resolution on Heterogeneous

Data (CRH) framework is based on the single objective optimization. Due to the

single objective optimization and non-convex optimization problem, only one local

optimal solution is found. As this is a non-convex optimization problem, the optimal

point depends upon the initial point. This single objective optimization problem is

converted into a multi-objective optimization problem. Due to the multi-objective

optimization problem, the Pareto optimal points are computed. In an extension of

that, the single objective optimization problem is solved with numerous initial points.

The above two approaches are used for finding the solution better than the solution

obtained in the CRH with median as the initial point for the continuous variables and

majority voting as the initial point for the categorical variables. In the experiments,

the solution, coming from the CRH, lies in the Pareto optimal points of the multiobjective

optimization and the solution coming from the CRH is the optimum solution

in these experiments.
