Formalising trust as a computational concept
, 1994
"... Trust is a judgement of unquestionable utility — as humans we use it every day of our lives. However, trust has suffered from an imperfect understanding, a plethora of definitions, and informal use in the literature and in everyday life. It is common to say “I trust you, ” but what does that mean? T ..."

robustness to independent agents. • A useful judgement in the light of experience of the behaviour of others. • Applicable to inanimate others. The thesis argues these points from the point of view of artificial agents. Trust in an artificial agent is a means of providing an additional tool
Articulated body motion capture by annealed particle filtering
- In IEEE Conf. on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition
, 2000
"... The main challenge in articulated body motion tracking is the large number of degrees of freedom (around 30) to be recovered. Search algorithms, either deterministic or stochastic, that search such a space without constraint, fall foul of exponential computational complexity. One approach is to intr ..."

is to introduce constraints — either labelling using markers or colour coding, prior assumptions about motion trajectories or view restrictions. Another is to relax constraints arising from articulation, and track limbs as if their motions were independent. In contrast, here we aim for general tracking without
INDEPENDENT VIEWS IN MIMO SONAR SYSTEMS
"... Abstract: The main advantages of MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) sonar systems come from the assumption of independent observations between each transmitter/receiver pairs.The independence of the observations ensures a unbiased set of measurements and then provides true statistics on the targe ..."

, it is not a proper distance and in particular a null measure of the Pearson coefficient does not insure the independence of the tested random variables. For these reasons we will use the distance correlation introduced by Szekely. From the distance correlation we will derive the inter-views distance
Culture in action: Symbols and strategies
- American Sociological Review
, 1986
"... Culture influences action not by providing the ultimate values toward which action is oriented, but by shaping a repertoire or "tool kit " of habits, skills, and styles from which people construct "strategies of action. " Two models of cultural influence are developed, for settle ..."

, for settled and unsettled cultural periods. In settled periods, culture independently influences action, but only by providing resources from which people can construct diverse lines of action. In unsettled cultural periods, explicit ideologies directly govern action, but structural opportunities for action
Ontologies are us: A unified model of social networks and semantics
- In International Semantic Web Conference
, 2005
"... Abstract. On the Semantic Web ontologies are most commonly treated as artifacts created by knowledge engineers for a particular community. The task of the engineers is to forge a common understanding within the community and to formalize the agreements, prerequisites of reusing domain knowledge in i ..."

in information systems. However, the process of objectifying ontologies results in ontological drift over time (as the community and its understanding evolves independently of the agreement) and results in the loss of local views over the domain. Several authors have suggested emergent semantics as a solution [1
Testing for Common Trends
- Journal of the American Statistical Association
, 1988
"... Cointegrated multiple time series share at least one common trend. Two tests are developed for the number of common stochastic trends (i.e., for the order of cointegration) in a multiple time series with and without drift. Both tests involve the roots of the ordinary least squares coefficient matrix ..."

Similarity estimation techniques from rounding algorithms
- In Proc. of 34th STOC
, 2002
"... A locality sensitive hashing scheme is a distribution on a family F of hash functions operating on a collection of objects, such that for two objects x, y, Prh∈F[h(x) = h(y)] = sim(x,y), where sim(x,y) ∈ [0, 1] is some similarity function defined on the collection of objects. Such a scheme leads ..."

to a compact representation of objects so that similarity of objects can be estimated from their compact sketches, and also leads to efficient algorithms for approximate nearest neighbor search and clustering. Min-wise independent permutations provide an elegant construction of such a locality
