The design of intelligent agents is a key issue for many applications. Since there is no universally accepted definition of intelligence, the notion of rational agency was proposed by Russell as an alternative for the characterization of intelligent agency.

Cultural differences play a very important role in matching computer interfaces to the expectations of users from different national and cultural backgrounds. But to date, there has been little systematic research as to the extent of such differences, and how…

The design of intelligent agents is greatly influenced by the many different models that exist to represent knowledge. It is essential that such agents have computationally adequate mechanisms to manage its knowledge, which more often than not is incomplete and/or…

Effective document retrieval using domain knowledge and semantics is one of the major challenges in Information Retrieval. Over the last years, there has been a growing interest in ontologies as an artifact for human knowledge representation and a critical component…

“La tecnología KDD está basada en un bien definido proceso KDD de múltiples pasos, para el descubrimiento de conocimiento en grandes colecciones de datos. El proceso KDD es iterativo por naturaleza, y depende de la interacción para la toma de…

Multiagent systems and online communities rely on rating systems to infer the reputation given to an individual within a particular context. The notion of reputation is essential for helping a given individual to trust in other individuals and for being…

Co-training can learn from datasets having a small number of labelled examples and a large number of unlabelled ones. It is an iterative algorithm where examples labelled in previous iterations are used to improve the classification of examples from the…

A fuzzy controller is usually designed by formulating the knowledge of a human expert into a set of linguistic variables and fuzzy rules. As it is well known, the use of prior knowledge can dramatically improve the performance and quality…

En este trabajo se formula una propuesta de arquitectura de integración entre sistemas de descubrimiento de conocimiento (adquisición automática) y sistemas basados en conocimiento (sistemas expertos). Se formulan consideraciones sobre la viabilidad de implementación de dicha arquitectura en función de…

Una nueva filosofía de Management tiene el objetivo de capturar, diseminar y rehusar el conocimiento disperso que poseen las organizaciones y que junto a sus recursos humanos constituyen su Capital Intelectual, que forma parte de su activo más importante en…
