The ongoing rapid development of the e-commercial and interest-base websites make it more pressing to evaluate objects' accurate quality before recommendation by employing an effective reputation system. The objects' quality are often…
Ranking problem of web-based rating system has attracted many attentions. A good ranking algorithm should be robust against spammer attack. Here we proposed a correlation based reputation algorithm to solve the ranking problem of such…
How to rank web pages, scientists and online resources has recently attracted increasing attention from both physicists and computer scientists. In this paper, we study the ranking problem of rating systems where users vote objects by…
In this paper, our goal is to compare performances of three different algorithms to predict the ratings that will be given to movies by potential users where we are given a user-movie rating matrix based on the past observations. To this…
The paper introduces a novel iterative method that assigns a reputation to n + m items: n raters and m objects. Each rater evaluates a subset of objects leading to a n x m rating matrix with a certain sparsity pattern. From this rating…
Point sets matching method is very important in computer vision, feature extraction, fingerprint matching, motion estimation and so on. This paper proposes a robust point sets matching method. We present an iterative algorithm that is…
In this paper we present a method for reformulating the Recommender Systems problem in an Information Retrieval one. In our tests we have a dataset of users who give ratings for some movies; we hide some values from the dataset, and we try…
Reputation is a valuable asset in online social lives and it has drawn increased attention. How to evaluate user reputation in online rating systems is especially significant due to the existence of spamming attacks. To address this issue,…
When users rate objects, a sophisticated algorithm that takes into account ability or reputation may produce a fairer or more accurate aggregation of ratings than the straightforward arithmetic average. Recently a number of authors have…
Bandit algorithms are widely used in sequential decision problems to maximize the cumulative reward. One potential application is mobile health, where the goal is to promote the user's health through personalized interventions based on user…
Ranking problem has attracted much attention in real systems. How to design a robust ranking method is especially significant for online rating systems under the threat of spamming attacks. By building reputation systems for users, many…
Ranking systems have an unprecedented influence on how and what information people access, and their impact on our society is being analyzed from different perspectives, such as users' discrimination. A notable example is represented by…
With the explosive growth of accessible information, expecially on the Internet, evaluation-based filtering has become a crucial task. Various systems have been devised aiming to sort through large volumes of information and select what is…
Advances in information technology reduce barriers to information propagation, but at the same time they also induce the information overload problem. For the making of various decisions, mere digestion of the relevant information has…
The voting method, an ensemble approach for fundamental frequency estimation, is empirically known for its robustness but lacks thorough investigation. This paper provides a principled analysis and improvement of this technique. First, we…
The spread of online reviews, ratings and opinions and its growing influence on people's behavior and decisions boosted the interest to extract meaningful information from this data deluge. Hence, crowdsourced ratings of products and…
This article studies a Newton-like method already used by several authors but which has not been thouroughly studied yet. We call it the robust-variance scoring (RVS) algorithm because the main version of the algorithm that we consider…
In today's world, abundant digital content like e-books, movies, videos and articles are available for consumption. It is daunting to review everything accessible and decide what to watch next. Consequently, digital media providers want to…
Deep convolutional neural networks have been widely used in scene classification of remotely sensed images. In this work, we propose a robust learning method for the task that is secure against partially incorrect categorization of images.…
