HARD Experiment at Maryland: From Need Negotiation to Automated HARD Process
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our aim of participating in this year’s High Accuracy Retrieval from Documents (HARD) track is to explore the possibility of developing an automated HARD retrieval model by leveraging existing models and theories about information need negotiation in information science. The clarification questions we developed are related to four different aspects of search topic, and four different techniques were developed to fully use the information collected from the user through these questions. Our initial analysis of the results indicates that this is a promising approach.

Ontologies for supporting negotiation in e-commerce
In this paper we present our experience in applying Semantic Web technology to automated negotiation. This result is a novel approach to automated negotiation, that is particularly suitable to open environments such as the Internet. In this approach, agents can negotiate in any type of marketplace regardless of the negotiation mechanism in use. In order to support a wide variety of negotiation ...
متن کاملAn Infrastructure for Rule-Driven Negotiating Software Agents
Most strategy-enabled automated negotiation platforms use hard-coded, predefined, and non-adaptive negotiation strategies. This is evidently insufficient in regard to the ambitions of automated negotiations research. In this paper, we introduce INSULA, an infrastructure for representing, managing, and exploring negotiation strategies that is versatile, easy to use, and that encompasses a wide s...
متن کاملEvaluation of Microstructure and Wear Behavior of Iron-based Hard - facing Coatings on the Mo40 Steel
Mo40 low-alloy steels are mostly used to produce industrial components such as crane wheels which are exposed to abrasive wear. However, during working conditions, their wear resistance is reduced after a while due to its low hardness. With increasing abrasive wear, the dimensions of components decrease and they need to be repaired for surface modification. In this regard, hard overlay coatings...
متن کاملAutomated Agents that Proficiently Negotiate with People: Can We Keep People out of the Evaluation Loop
Research on automated negotiators has flourished in recent years. Among the important issues considered is how these automated negotiators can proficiently negotiate with people. To validate this, many experimentations with people are required. Nonetheless, conducting experiments with people is timely and costly, making the evaluation of these automated negotiators a very difficult process. Mor...
متن کاملOptimizing Strategy in Agent-Based Automated Negotiation
Digital Business Agents (DBAs) can assist human buyers and sellers in electronic markets by strategically conducting automated negotiation to minimize transaction costs. However, the resulting information systems are complex environments, which are hard to assess analytically. The DBAs’ strategies will thus need to incorporate heuristics, which adapt to ever changing environment conditions usin...
