Uncertain inference is a probabilistic generalisation of the logical view on databases, ranking documents according to their probabilities that they logically imply the query. For ...
We consider probabilistic inference in general hybrid networks, which include continuous and discrete variables in an arbitrary topology. We reexamine the question of variable dis...
Information integration applications, such as mediators or mashups, that require access to information resources currently rely on users manually discovering and integrating them ...
The probability that a term appears in relevant documents ( ) is a fundamental quantity in several probabilistic retrieval models, however it is difficult to estimate without rele...
Methods for fusing document lists that were retrieved in response to a query often use retrieval scores (or ranks) of documents in the lists. We present a novel probabilistic fusi...
