Robust Reputation in Decentralized Markets
Establishing cooperation and protecting individuals from selfish and malicious behavior are key goals in open multiagent systems. Incomplete information regarding potential interaction partners can undermine typical cooperation mechanisms such as trust ...
Building a Language-Independent Discourse Parser using Universal Networking Language
Discourse parsing has become an inevitable task to process information in the natural language processing arena. Parsing complex discourse structures beyond the sentence level is a significant challenge. This article proposes a discourse parser that ...
Robust Support Vector Machines with Low Test Time
The robust support vector machines RoSVM for ellipsoidal data is difficult to solve. To overcome this difficulty, its primal form has been approximated with a second-order cone programming SOCP called approximate primal RoSVM.
Behavior-Based Propagation of Trust in Social Networks with Restricted and Anonymous Participation
Increasing interactions and engagements in social networks through monetary and material incentives is not always feasible. Some social networks, specifically those that are built on the basis of fairness, cannot incentivize members using tangible ...

Color quantization is a common image processing technique where full color images are to be displayed using a limited palette of colors. The choice of a good palette is crucial as it directly determines the quality of the resulting image. Standard ...
Incorporating Intra-Query Term Dependencies in an Aspect Query Language Model
Query language modeling based on relevance feedback has been widely applied to improve the effectiveness of information retrieval. However, intra-query term dependencies i.e., the dependencies between different query terms and term combinations have not ...
