Models of strategic candidacy analyze the incentives of candidates to run in an election. Most work on this topic assumes that strategizing only takes place among candidates, wher...
We describe a tool, MatchMaps, that generates sameAs and partOf matches between spatial objects (such as shops, shopping centres, etc.) in crowd-sourced and authoritative geospati...

Diseases such as autism, cardiovascular disease, and the autoimmune disorders are difficult to treat because of the remarkable degree of variation among affected individuals. Sub...
Object recognition systems can be unreliable when run in isolation depending on only image based features, but their performance can be improved when taking scene context into acc...

This paper raises the question of collective decision making under possibilistic uncertainty; We study four egalitarian decision rules and show that in the context of a possibilis...
Increased interest in web-based education has spurred the proliferation of online learning environments. However, these platforms suffer from high dropout rates due to lack of su...
Sparse learning has been proven to be a powerful technique in supervised feature selection, which allows to embed feature selection into the classification (or regression) proble...
