BACKGROUND  Mining influence in networks, especially social networks has attracted tremendous attentions. BACKGROUND  Mining influence in networks, especially social networks has attracted tremendous attentions.  Topic-level influence between academia and industry is useful in many cases:  Students whose career goal is to be a researcher in a company's research lab often seek advisor with h...

In this paper, we develop a qualitative theory of influence diagrams that can be used to model and solve sequential decision making tasks when only qualitative (or imprecise) information is available. Our approach is based on an orderof-magnitude approximation of both probabilities and utilities and allows for specifying partially ordered preferences via sets of utility values. We also propose ...

Finding an optimal elimination ordering is a NP-hard problem of crucial importance for the efficiency of the Influence Diagrams evaluation. Some of the traditional methods for determining the elimination ordering use heuristics that consider that potentials are represented as tables. However, if potentials are represented using binary trees traditional methods may not offer the best results. In...

the current research aims to study the industrial and technological concerns within transfer process of high-tech regarding the technology readiness levels (trls). the importance of the subject is emphasized because different trls have special considerations and the risks of high-tech transfer can be reduced considering them. the main goal of this study is to identify and rank the industrial an...

Academic dental institutions face the growing challenge of securing the resources needed to develop a curriculum that incorporates current innovation and technology to ensure that students' learning experiences are relevant to current dental practice. As a result, university-industry relationships are becoming increasingly common in academe. While these relationships facilitate curriculum relev...

T here is ongoing controversy concerning the influence of the pharmaceutical industry on physicians, research publications, medical societies, and disease advocacy groups (1–7). Nowhere is the potential influence of industry more concerning than in development of clinical practice guidelines (8), which are designed to improve and standardize patient care yet also have enormous economic implicat...

The potential influence diagram is a generalization of the standard "conditional" influence diagram, a directed network representation for probabilistic inference and decision analysis [Ndilikilikesha, 1991). It allows efficient inference calculations corresponding exactly to those on undirected graphs. In this paper, we explore the relationship between potential and conditional influence diagr...

The food, tobacco and alcohol industries have penetrated markets in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), with a significant impact on these countries’ burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). Tangcharoensathien and colleagues describe the aggressive marketing of unhealthy food, alcohol and tobacco in LMICs, as well as key tactics used by these industries to resis...
