Utility elicitation is an important component of many applications, such as decision support systems and recommender systems. Such systems query users about their preferences and ...
On the investigation of linguistic techniques used in ontology matching, we propose a new idea of virtual documents to pursue a cost-effective approach to linguistic matching in t...
In real-life decision analysis, the probabilities and values of consequences are in general vague and imprecise. One way to model imprecise probabilities is to represent a probabi...
Estimation via sampling out of highly selective join queries is well known to be problematic, most notably in online aggregation. Without goal-directed sampling strategies, samples...
In this paper, we propose a model for representing and predicting distances in large-scale networks by matrix factorization. The model is useful for network distance sensitive app...
