Automated Case Generation for Recommender Systems Using Knowledge Discovery Techniques
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 2002-04)One approach to product recommendation in ecommerce is collaborative filtering, which is based on data of users? consumption of assets. The alternative case-based approach is based on a more semantically rich representation ... -
Automated Reconciliation for Disconnected Operation in Object Oriented Middleware
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2005-09)Modern distributed computing systems are no longer constrained to fixed, wired networks. Many computers have gained the ability to move within a network and operate across wireless links. Such mobile computing devices often ... -
Automated Web Service Composition
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2004-09)Web content has traditionally been dominated by documents intended for human interpretation. However, the recent advent of Web Services has played a key role in evolving the Web from a mere document repository to a provider ... -
Automatic Detection of Secondary Creases in Fingerprints
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1992-09)Human fingerprints comprise a series of whorls or ridges. In some special cases, these whorls are broken by so-called 'secondary creases': co-linear breaks across a sequence of adjacent ridges. A technique to automatically ... -
Automatic Web Publishing
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2000-09)Research and Development departments of most important companies are currently producing technical documents and papers as a result of their own investigation projects. This type of documents normally develop concepts and ... -
Awareness Mechanisms in Groupware Systems
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2004-09)The main focus of this dissertation is to study the awareness mechanisms in groupware computing. The object of this study is to create a platform for testing awareness mechanisms in a general and empirical fashion. The ... -
BeanBag: An Extensible Framework for Describing, Storing and Querying Components
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 1999-09)When it became obvious that Object Oriented software applications were falling short of their promise of significant software reuse, the software industry began to look at another solution. Hence the interest in Component ... -
The Benefits of Using a Complete Probability Distribution when Decision Making: An Example in Anticoagulant Drug Therapy
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 2005-08-06)In this paper we aim to show how probabilistic prediction of a continuous variable could be more beneficial to a medical practitioner than classification or numeric/point prediction of the same variable in many scenarios. ... -
The Best Way to Instil Confidence is by Being Right An Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Case-Based Explanations in providing User Confidence
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 2005-02-07)Instilling confidence in the abilities of machine learning systems in end-users is seen as critical to their success in real world problems. One way in which this can be achieved is by providing users with interpretable ... -
Bezier Curves for Camera Motion
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1994-12)This paper describes an attempt to address some of the deficiencies and infelicities associated with the use of piecewise Bezier segments when constructing a smooth path for a camera in a computer animation. In particular, ... -
Blame-Based Noise Reduction: An Alternative Perspective on Noise Reduction for Lazy Learning
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 2005-02-22)In this paper we present a new perspective on noise reduction for nearest-neighbour classifiers. Classic noise reduction algorithms such as Repeated Edited Nearest Neighbour remove cases from the training set if they are ... -
Bridging Bonobo Components
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2001-09)To manage the increasing complexity of software, many modern and large applications make use of components. GNOME, the free desktop environment for UNIX like systems, has created its own component model, namely Bonobo. The ... -
Building the next generation groupware: A survey of groupware and its impact on the virtual enterprise
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1999-02)[Executive Summary] This document explores the issues in building the ?groupware of the future?. The approach is twofold. First we briefly describe our vision of a ?virtual enterprise? that is made up of a set of services ... -
C** Programmers' Guide
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1992-02)The C** extensions to C++ for distributed and persistent programming in C++ are described. -
Calibrating Probability Density Forecasts with Multi-objective Search
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 2006-02-10)In this paper, we show that the optimization of density forecasting models for regression in machine learning can be formulated as a multi-objective problem.We describe the two objectives of sharpness and calibration and ... -
Call Admission Control and Dynamic Pricing in a GSM/GPRS Cellular Network
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2004-09)In the past decade, the wireless communications market has experienced tremendous growth, and this growth is likely to continue in the near future. In addition to an increase in the number of users, ever more demanding ... -
CapaFS: A globally Accessible File System
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 1999-09)We have designed and implemented a reference implementation of CapaFS, a global, decentralised file system that allows users to collaborate with other users anywhere in the world, with no prior arrangements or connections. ... -
Case Representation Issues for Case-Based Reasoning from Ensemble Research
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 2001-03)Ensembles of classifiers will produce lower errors than the member classifiers if there is diversity in the ensemble. One means of producing this diversity in nearest neighbour classifiers is to base the member classifiers ... -
A Case-Based Explanation System for `Black-Box? Systems
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 2004-06-23)Most users of machine-learning products are reluctant to use the systems without any sense of the underlying logic that has led to the system?s predictions. Unfortunately many of these systems lack any transparency in the ... -
A Case-Based Personal Travel Assistant for Elaborating User Requirements and Assessing Offers
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 2002-04)This paper describes a case-based approach to user profiling in a Personal Travel assistant (based on the 1998 FIPA Travel Scenario). The ap-proach is novel in that the user profile is made up of a set of cases capturing ...
