Privacy preserving record linkage in the presence of missing values (2017)
Journal Article
Chi, Y., Hong, J., Jurek, A., Liu, W., & O'Reilly, D. (2017). Privacy preserving record linkage in the presence of missing values. Information Systems, 71, 199-210. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.is.2017.07.001

© 2017 The problem of record linkage is to identify records from two datasets, which refer to the same entities (e.g. patients). A particular issue of record linkage is the presence of missing values in records, which has not been fully addressed. An...

A novel ensemble learning approach to unsupervised record linkage (2017)
Journal Article
Jurek, A., Hong, J., Chi, Y., & Liu, W. (2017). A novel ensemble learning approach to unsupervised record linkage. Information Systems, 71, 40-54. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.is.2017.06.006

© 2017 Record linkage is a process of identifying records that refer to the same real-world entity. Many existing approaches to record linkage apply supervised machine learning techniques to generate a classification model that classifies a pair of r...

Managing different sources of uncertainty in a BDI framework in a principled way with tractable fragments (2017)
Journal Article
Bauters, K., McAreavey, K., Liu, W., Hong, J., Godo, L., & Sierra, C. (2017). Managing different sources of uncertainty in a BDI framework in a principled way with tractable fragments. Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research, 58, 731-755. https://doi.org/10.1613/jair.5287

The Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) architecture is a practical approach for modelling large-scale intelligent systems. In the BDI setting, a complex system is represented as a network of interacting agents – or components – each one modelled based on...

Tweet for behavior change: Using social media for the dissemination of public health messages (2017)
Journal Article
Gough, A., Hunter, R. F., Ajao, O., Jurek, A., McKeown, G., Hong, J., …Kee, F. (2017). Tweet for behavior change: Using social media for the dissemination of public health messages. JMIR Public Health and Surveillance, 3(1), https://doi.org/10.2196/publichealth.6313

Background: Social media public health campaigns have the advantage of tailored messaging at low cost and large reach, but little is known about what would determine their feasibility as tools for inducing attitude and behavior change. Objective: Th... Read More about Tweet for behavior change: Using social media for the dissemination of public health messages.

A collaborative multiagent framework based on online risk-aware planning and decision-making (2017)
Journal Article
Palomares, I., Killough, R., Bauters, K., Liu, W., & Hong, J. (2017). A collaborative multiagent framework based on online risk-aware planning and decision-making

Planning is an essential process in teams of multiple agents pursuing a common goal. When the effects of actions undertaken by agents are uncertain, evaluating the potential risk of such actions alongside their utility might lead to more rational dec...

Context-dependent combination of sensor information in Dempster–Shafer theory for BDI (2016)
Journal Article
Calderwood, S., McAreavey, K., Liu, W., & Hong, J. (2017). Context-dependent combination of sensor information in Dempster–Shafer theory for BDI. Knowledge and Information Systems, 51(1), 259-285. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10115-016-0978-0

© 2016, The Author(s). There has been much interest in the belief–desire–intention (BDI) agent-based model for developing scalable intelligent systems, e.g. using the AgentSpeak framework. However, reasoning from sensor information in these large-sca... Read More about Context-dependent combination of sensor information in Dempster–Shafer theory for BDI.

Uncertain information combination for decision making in smart grid BDI agent systems (2016)
Journal Article
Calderwood, S., McAreavey, K., Liu, W., & Hong, J. (2016). Uncertain information combination for decision making in smart grid BDI agent systems. https://doi.org/10.20533/ijicss.9781.9083.20346.2016.0003

In a smart grid SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) system, sensor information (e.g. temperature, voltage, frequency, etc.) from heterogeneous sources can be used to reason about the true system state (e.g. faults, attacks, etc.). Before... Read More about Uncertain information combination for decision making in smart grid BDI agent systems.

Probabilistic planning in agentspeak using the POMDP framework (2016)
Journal Article
Godo, L., Bauters, K., McAreavey, K., Hong, J., Chen, Y., Liu, W., …Sierra, C. (2016). Probabilistic planning in agentspeak using the POMDP framework. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-26860-6_2

© Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016. AgentSpeak is a logic-based programming language, based on the Belief- Desire-Intention paradigm, suitable for building complex agent-based systems. To limit the computational complexity, agents i...

Conversations on Twitter are now bein... Read More about A survey of location inference techniques on Twitter.

From inconsistency handling to non-canonical requirements management: A logical perspective (2012)
Journal Article
Mu, K., Hong, J., Jin, Z., & Liu, W. (2013). From inconsistency handling to non-canonical requirements management: A logical perspective. International Journal of Approximate Reasoning, 54(1), 109-131. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijar.2012.07.006

As a class of defects in software requirements specification, inconsistency has been widely studied in both requirements engineering and software engineering. It has been increasingly recognized that maintaining consistency alone often results in som...
