In this thesis we consider the problem of information hiding in the scenarios of interactive systems, statistical disclosure control, and refinement of specifications. We apply quantitative approaches to information flow in the first two…
This paper considers arbitrary document detection performed on a mobile device. The classical contour-based approach often fails in cases featuring occlusion, complex background, or blur. The region-based approach, which relies on the…
We describe a computational feather-light and intuitive, yet provably efficient algorithm, named HALFADO. HALFADO is designed for detecting suspicious events in a high-frequency stream of complex entries, based on a relatively small number…
News sources undergo the process of selecting newsworthy information when covering a certain topic. The process inevitably exhibits selection biases, i.e. news sources' typical patterns of choosing what information to include in news…
Developing tools to automatically detect check-worthy claims in political debates and speeches can greatly help moderators of debates, journalists, and fact-checkers. While previous work on this problem has focused exclusively on the text…
Knowledge workers often need to extract and analyze information from a collection of documents to solve complex information tasks in the workplace, e.g., hiring managers reviewing resumes or analysts assessing risk in contracts. However,…
Pattern spotting consists of searching in a collection of historical document images for occurrences of a graphical object using an image query. Contrary to object detection, no prior information nor predefined class is given about the…
Process discovery is one of the primary process mining tasks and starting point for process improvements using event data. Existing process discovery techniques aim to find process models that best describe the observed behavior. The focus…
Verifying the veracity of claims requires reasoning over a large knowledge base, often in the form of corpora of trustworthy sources. A common approach consists in retrieving short portions of relevant text from the reference documents and…
Topic Modeling is a popular statistical tool commonly used on textual data to identify the hidden thematic structure in a document collection based on the distribution of words. Additionally, it can be used to cluster the documents, with…
Recent years have witnessed the proliferation of offensive content online such as fake news, propaganda, misinformation, and disinformation. While initially this was mostly about textual content, over time images and videos gained…
Getting relevant information from search engines has been the heart of research works in information retrieval. Query expansion is a retrieval technique that has been studied and proved to yield positive results in relevance. Users are…
Reading order detection is the foundation of document understanding. Most existing methods rely on uniform supervision, implicitly assuming a constant difficulty distribution across layout regions. In this work, we challenge this assumption…
Retrieval augmented generation (RAG) is frequently used to mitigate hallucinations and provide up-to-date knowledge for large language models (LLMs). However, given that document retrieval is an imprecise task and sometimes results in…
A significant part of human activity today consists of searching for a piece of information online, utilizing knowledge repositories. This endeavor may be time-consuming if the individual searching for the information is unfamiliar with the…
According to the probability ranking principle, the document set with the highest values of probability of relevance optimizes information retrieval effectiveness given the probabilities are estimated as accurately as possible. The key…
Organizations generate vast amounts of interconnected content across various platforms. While language models enable sophisticated reasoning for use in business applications, retrieving and contextualizing information from organizational…
In the community of Linked Data, anyone can publish their data as Linked Data on the web because of the openness of the Semantic Web. As such, RDF (Resource Description Framework) triples described the same real-world entity can be obtained…
We introduce KOSMOS, a knowledge retrieval system based on the constructed knowledge graph of social media and mainstream media documents. The system first identifies key events from the documents at each time frame through clustering,…
Preventing data exfiltration from computer systems typically depends on perimeter defences, but these are becoming increasingly fragile. Instead we suggest an approach in which each at-risk document is supplemented by many fake versions of…
