Although there are numerous possibilities to save energy, conservation initiatives often do not tailor their content to the consumer. By considering energy conservation as a one-dimensional construct, where different behaviors have different execution difficulties, we have set out a Rasch-based energy recommender system that provides tailored conservation advice to its users. Through an online ...

Event boundary detection is in and of itself a useful application in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Typically, it includes the detection of a large-scale spatial phenomenon such as the transportation front line of a contamination or the diagnosis of network health. In this paper, we present FEBD, a fully distributed and light-weight Fault-tolerant Event Boundary Detection scheme. FEBD feature...

Complementary cell suppression has been used for disclosure limitation of magnitude data such as economic censuses data for decades. This paper examines data quality and data confidentiality characteristics of cell suppression. We demonstrate that when cell suppression is not performed using a proper mathematical model, it can fail to protect. Moreover, we demonstrate that properly executed sup...

We construct a novel agent-based model of prediction markets in which putative human qualities like learning, reasoning, and profit-seeking are absent. We show that the prices which emerge from a market populated by a class of distinctly inhuman agents, Zero-Intelligence agents with diffuse beliefs, replicate the findings of empirical market studies. We use this result to argue against the prev...

We propose a novel framework for zero-shot learning of topic-dependent language models, which enables the learning of language models corresponding to specific topics for which no language data is available. To realize zeroshot learning, we exploit the semantic compositionality of the target topics. Complex topics are normally composed of several elementary semantic components. We found that th...
