Quorum systems are a mechanism for obtaining fault-tolerance and efficient distributed systems. We consider geographic quorum systems; a geographic quorum system is a partition of...
In this paper we propose a novel method for learning a Mahalanobis distance measure to be used in the KNN classification algorithm. The algorithm directly maximizes a stochastic v...

— In this contribution a feature selection method in semi-supervised problems is proposed. This method selects variables using a feature clustering strategy, using a combination ...
Abstract. Conversational recommender systems adapt the sets of products they recommend in light of user feedback. Our contribution here is to devise and compare four different mec...
