Credibility Versus Control

Web Credibility: Features Exploration and Credibility Prediction

The open nature of the World Wide Web makes evaluating webpage credibility challenging for users. In this paper, we aim to automatically assess web credibility by investigating various characteristics of webpages. Specifically, we first identify features from textual content, link structure, webpages design, as well as their social popularity learned from popular social media sites (e.g., Faceb...

A Credibility-based Congestion Control Scheme and its Performance Evaluation

A congestion control scheme based on credibility is proposed. In this scheme, the whole n etwork is divided into several indepen dent domains, a nd e ach dom ain con tains a congestion contro l server (CCS) and several control modules (CM). The CCS is used to collect credit information and make punish ment decisions based on the credit information, while the CM cr eates si gnaling packets to ca...

Credibility Theory

This survey of actuarial credibility theory traces its origins, describes its evolutionary history, gives an account of its main issues and results, and assesses its merits with a view to related work in statistical science. Key-words: Experience rating, limited fluctuation theory, greatest accuracy theory, Bayes, linear Bayes, empirical Bayes, hierarchical models, Hilbert space methods, recurs...

Testing Credibility

Credibility Models

We present a general hierarchical Bayesian model where Intelligence Sources make Reports about events or states in the world, which we call Hypotheses. The underlying multi-entity Bayes net for even a simple scenario has hundreds of nodes. We hide the details via Wigmore diagrams and a Google Maps GUI. Our application domain is Intelligence data fusion in asymmetrical warfare (terrorism). Some ...
