The development of autonomous multi-agent systems acting upon the interests of one or more users involves the elicitation of preferences of these users. In decision theory, models...
Product line engineering allows for the rapid development of variants of a domain specific application by using a common set of reusable assets often known as core assets. Variabil...
Evaluating rankers using implicit feedback, such as clicks on documents in a result list, is an increasingly popular alternative to traditional evaluation methods based on explici...
Information Retrieval systems can be improved by exploiting context information such as user and document features. This article presents a model based on overlapping probabilistic...
Agents are intended to interact in open systems where the knowledge about others (reputation) is incomplete and uncertain. Also, this knowledge about other agents is subjective si...
