This paper formalizes the semantics of trust and studies the transitivity of trust. On the Web, people and software agents have to interact with “strangers”. This makes trust ...
Recent work in Ontology learning and Text mining has mainly focused on engineering methods to solve practical problem. In this thesis, we investigate methods that can substantially...
Abstract. We present the first (to our knowledge) approximation algorithm for tensor clustering—a powerful generalization to basic 1D clustering. Tensors are increasingly common...
The question whether preemptive systems are better than non-preemptive systems has been debated for a long time, but only partial answers have been provided in the real-time liter...
