We propose an active learning algorithm that learns a continuous valuation model from discrete preferences. The algorithm automatically decides what items are best presented to an...
Independent component analysis (ICA) is a powerful method to decouple signals. Most of the algorithms performing ICA do not consider the temporal correlations of the signal, but o...
Taking care of an elderly in loss of cognitive autonomy is a challenging task. Artificial agents, such as the Telehealth Smart Home (TSH) system can facilitate that task. However,...
As web engineering evolves web based applications complexity grows in higher orders of magnitude. Is not uncommon to find in today web based applications complex and time consumin...
In this paper, we describe some experiments in large-scale Information Extraction (IE) focusing on book texts. We investigate the scalability of IE techniques to full-sized books,...
