Réseaux Probabilistes Orientés Objet

RÉSUMÉ. La représentation de connaissances incertaines est un problème important dans le domaine de l’intelligence artificielle. Les réseaux probabilistes proposent une solution intéressante pour de nombreuses raisons théoriques et pratiques mais ont le désavantage d’être difficiles à créer autant qu’à maintenir. Dans cet article, nous définissons un cadre de spécification orientée objet qui pe...

Experiments in Objet Trouvé Browsing

We report on two experiments to study the use of a graphic design tool for generating and selecting image lters, in which the aesthetic preferences that the user expresses whilst browsing ltered images drives the lter generation process. In the rst experiment, we found evidence for the idea that intelligent employment of the user s preferences when generating lters can improve the overall quali...

Existing methods, such as peer prediction and Bayesian truth serum, require assumptions either on the mechanism’s knowledge about the participants or on the information struct...
