This paper presents a new way of thinking for IR metric optimization. It is argued that the optimal ranking problem should be factorized into two distinct yet interrelated stages:...
We consider the problem of aggregation for uncertain and imprecise data. For such data, we define aggregation operators and use them to provide information on properties and patte...
Recursive simulation is the technique of having simulated decisionmakers themselves use simulation to inform their decisionmaking. Issues of efficiency require that the recursive ...
In previous papers, we have presented a logic-based framework based on fusion rules for merging structured news reports [Hun00, Hun02b, Hun02a, HS03, HS04]. Structured news report...
Background: Likelihood-based phylogenetic inference is generally considered to be the most reliable classification method for unknown sequences. However, traditional likelihood-ba...
