Session reconstruction is an essential step in Web usage mining. The quality of reconstructed sessions affects the result of Web usage mining. This paper presents a new approach o...
If we are to understand human-level intelligence, we need to understand how meanings can be learned without explicit instruction. I take a step toward that understanding by showing...
Abstract. Choosing between multiple alternative tasks is a hard problem for agents evolving in an uncertain real-time multiagent environment. An example of such environment is the ...
Abstract. This paper extends a mereotopological theory of spatiotemporal reasoning to vague ”egg-yolk” regions. In this extension, the egg and its yolk are allowed to move and ...
Abstract. We present a new hybrid constraint solving schema which retains some systematicity of constructive search while incorporating the heuristic guidance and lack of commitmen...
Knowledge Provenance (KP) is proposed to address the problem of how to determine the validity and origin of web information by introducing standards and methods for modeling and ma...
Building conversation protocols has traditionally been an art more than a science, as their construction is often guided by designers’ intuition rather than by a principled appro...
The fitness function of an evolutionary algorithm is one of the few possible spots where application knowledge can be made available to the algorithm. But the representation and u...
To address the of mining a huge volume of geographically distributed databases, we propose two approaches. The first one is to download only a sample of each database. The second ...
