In this paper we extend the Multiple Indicator Solution (MIS),used to correct for endogeneity, so that it can also be used when there are interactions between observed and unobserved factors in the specification of the utility function. We show the theoret ...
By leveraging crowdsourcing, Web credibility evaluation systems (WCESs) have become a promising tool to assess the credibility of Web content, e.g., Web pages. However, existing systems adopt a passive Way to collect users' credibility ratings, which incur ...
In this paper, we propose a method for modeling trajectory patterns with both regional and velocity observations through the probabilistic topic model. By embedding Gaussian models into the discrete topic model framework, our method uses continuous velocit ...
This thesis investigates the feasibility of porting Node.js, a JavaScript web application framework and server, to IX, a dataplane operating system specifically developed to meet the needs of high performance microsecond-computing type of applications in a ...
Mobility is a central aspect of our life, and our movements reveal much more about us than simply our whereabouts. In this thesis, we are interested in mobility and study it from three different perspectives: the modeling perspective, the information-theor ...
We present a new approach to address the problem of large sequence mining from big data. The particular problem of interest is the effective mining of long sequences from large-scale location data to be practical for Reality Mining applications, which suff ...
The bag-of-words (BOW) model is the common approach for classifying documents, where words are used as feature for training a classifier. This generally involves a huge number of features. Some techniques, such as Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) or Latent D ...
In developing partial least squares calibration models, selecting the number of latent variables used for their construction to minimize both model bias and model variance remains a challenge. Several metrics exist for incorporating these trade-offs, but t ...
Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems incorporate expert knowledge of language or the linguistic expertise through the use of phone pronunciation lexicon (or dictionary) where each word is associated with a sequence of phones. The creation of phone pr ...
This research investigates the measurement of perceptions by means of adjectives freely reported by respondents in semi-open questions. It involved the use of semi-open responses of 1'763 Swiss individuals to develop indicators for a latent variable repres ...
