Classical retrieval models support content-oriented searching for documents using a set of words as data model. However, in hypertext and database applications we want to consider...
We describe a joint probabilistic model for modeling the contents and inter-connectivity of document collections such as sets of web pages or research paper archives. The model is...
Probabilistic Argumentation Systems (PAS) are a technique for representing uncertainty both symbolically and numerically. It is shown that this technique, which combines symbolic ...
A probabilistic learning model for vague queries and missing or imprecise information in databases is described. Instead of retrieving only a set of answers, our approach yields a...
Since WWW encourages hypertext and hypermedia document authoring (e.g. HTML or XML), Web authors tend to create documents that are composed of multiple pages connected with hyperl...
