Free riding is a major problem in peer-to-peer networks. Reputation management systems are generally proposed to overcome this problem. In this paper we have discussed a possible way of resource allocation on the basis of reputation…
The best linear unbiased estimator (BLUE) is a popular statistical method adopted to combine multiple measurements of the same observable taking into account individual uncertainties and their correlation. The method is unbiased by…
The last years have seen a growing interest in collaborative systems like electronic marketplaces and P2P file sharing systems where people are intended to interact with other people. Those systems, however, are subject to security and…
The concept of reputation is widely used as a measure of trustworthiness based on ratings from members in a community. The adoption of reputation systems, however, relies on their ability to capture the actual trustworthiness of a target.…
Each participant in peer-to-peer network prefers to free-ride on the contribution of other participants. Reputation based resource sharing is a way to control the free riding. Instead of classical game theory we use evolutionary game theory…
The "free rider" problem has long plagued pedagogies based on collaborative learning. The most common solution to the free rider problem is peer evaluation. As well other existing methods of peer evaluation include self-evaluation --- and…
In this paper the problem of best linear unbiased estimation is investigated for continuous-time regression models. We prove several general statements concerning the explicit form of the best linear unbiased estimator (BLUE), in particular…
For classical estimation with an underlying linear model the best linear unbiased estimator (BLUE) is usually utilized for estimating the deterministic but unknown parameter vector. In the case of real valued parameter vectors but complex…
Can a recommendation model be self-aware? This paper investigates the recommender's self-awareness by quantifying its uncertainty, which provides a label-free estimation of its performance. Such self-assessment can enable more informed…
The inability to correctly resolve rumours circulating online can have harmful real-world consequences. We present a method for incorporating model and data uncertainty estimates into natural language processing models for automatic rumour…
Deploying large language models (LLMs) in edge-cloud environments requires an efficient routing strategy to balance cost and response quality. Traditional approaches prioritize either human-preference data or accuracy metrics from benchmark…
Open and anonymous nature of peer to peer networks provides an opportunity to malicious peers to behave unpredictably in the network. This leads the lack of trust among the peers. To control the behavior of peers in the network, reputation…
This software performs the combination of $m$ correlated estimates of $n$ physics observables ($m\ge n$) using the Best Linear Unbiased Estimate (BLUE) method. It is implemented as a C++ class, to be used within the ROOT analysis package.…
The use of recommender systems has increased dramatically to assist online social network users in the decision-making process and selecting appropriate items. On the other hand, due to many different items, users cannot score a wide range…
The most accurate method to combine measurement from different experiments is to build a combined likelihood function and use it to perform the desired inference. This is not always possible for various reasons, hence approximate methods…
The emergence of online enterprises spread across continents have given rise to the need for expert identification in this domain. Scenarios that includes the intention of the employer to find tacit expertise and knowledge of an employee…
Given an i.i.d. sample drawn from some probability distribution on a finite set, the best (in the sense of least variance) linear unbiased estimator (BLUE) of the average of any quantity with respect to that distribution is the sample…
Societal biases that are contained in retrieved documents have received increased interest. Such biases, which are often prevalent in the training data and learned by the model, can cause societal harms, by misrepresenting certain groups,…
Characterizing the reputation of an evaluator is particularly significant for consumer to obtain useful information from online rating systems. Furthermore, to overcome the difficulties with spam attacks on the rating system and to get the…
Reference-free evaluation has the potential to make machine translation evaluation substantially more scalable, allowing us to pivot easily to new languages or domains. It has been recently shown that the probabilities given by a large,…
