Human Activity Recognition (HAR) has become one of the leading research topics of the last decade. As sensing technologies have matured and their economic costs have declined, a host of novel applications, e.g., in healthcare, industry,…
Integrating human expertise into machine learning systems often reduces the role of experts to labeling oracles, a paradigm that limits the amount of information exchanged and fails to capture the nuances of human judgment. We address this…
Association Rules are a basic concept of data mining. They are, however, not understood as logical objects which can be used for reasoning. The purpose of this paper is to investigate a model based semantic for implications with certain…
ANIMO (Analysis of Networks with Interactive MOdeling) is a software for modeling biological networks, such as e.g. signaling, metabolic or gene networks. An ANIMO model is essentially the sum of a network topology and a number of…
Association rules express implication formed relations among attributes in databases of itemsets. The apriori algorithm is presented, the basis for most association rule mining algorithms. It works by pruning away rules that need not be…
High-quality human annotations are necessary to create effective machine learning systems for social media. Low-quality human annotations indirectly contribute to the creation of inaccurate or biased learning systems. We show that human…
