The most prominent way to establish trust between buyers and sellers on online auction sites are reputation mechanisms. Two drawbacks of this approach are the reliance on the sell...
Latent relational search (LRS) is a novel approach for mapping knowledge across two domains. Given a source domain knowledge concerning the Moon, “The Moon is a satellite of the...
Much evidence has shown that prediction markets, when used in isolation, can effectively aggregate dispersed information about uncertain future events and produce remarkably accur...

With smart-phones becoming increasingly commonplace, there has been a subsequent surge in applications that continuously track the location of users. However, serious privacy conc...
We present a method for dependency grammar induction that utilizes sparse annotations of semantic relations. This induction set-up is attractive because such annotations provide u...
Sustainable resource management in many domains presents large continuous stochastic optimization problems, which can often be modeled as Markov decision processes (MDPs). To solv...
Applications that adapt to a particular end user often make inaccurate predictions during the early stages when training data is limited. Although an end user can improve the lear...
