As the rate of content production grows, we must make a staggering number of daily decisions about what information is worth acting on. For any flourishing online social media system, users can barely keep up with the new content shared by…
Machine learning models are being increasingly deployed to take, or assist in taking, complicated and high-impact decisions, from quasi-autonomous vehicles to clinical decision support systems. This poses challenges, particularly when…
Communities are not static; they evolve, split and merge, appear and disappear, i.e. they are product of dynamical processes that govern the evolution of the network. A good algorithm for community detection should not only quantify the…
We introduce Dynamic Information Sub-Selection (DISS), a novel framework of AI assistance designed to enhance the performance of black-box decision-makers by tailoring their information processing on a per-instance basis. Blackbox…
In this paper, our aim is to propose a model that helps in the efficient use of an information system by users, within the organization represented by the IS, in order to resolve their decisional problems. In other words we want to aid the…
Personalized recommendations have become a common feature of modern online services, including most major e-commerce sites, media platforms and social networks. Today, due to their high practical relevance, research in the area of…
Although Recommender Systems have been comprehensively studied in the past decade both in industry and academia, most of current recommender systems suffer from the following issues: 1) The data sparsity of the user-item matrix seriously…
Users on e-commerce platforms can be uncertain about their preferences early in their search. Queries to recommendation systems are frequently ambiguous, incomplete, or weakly specified. Agentic systems are expected to proactively reason,…
Observing electronic voting from an international point of view gives some perspective about its genesis and evolution. An analysis of the voting process through its cultural, ontological, legal and political dimensions explains the…
Indirect reciprocity based on reputation is a leading mechanism driving human cooperation, where monitoring of behaviour and sharing reputation-related information are crucial. Because collecting information is costly, a tragedy of the…
Large-scale e-commerce sites can collect and analyze a large number of user preferences and behaviors, and thus can recommend highly trusted products to users. However, it is very difficult for individuals or non-corporate groups to obtain…
Decision making often requires information that must be Provided with the rich data format. Addressing these new requirements appropriately makes it necessary for government agencies to orchestrate large amounts of information from…
