Uncertainty Issues and Algorithms in Automating Process Connecting Web and User

  • Conference paper
Uncertainty Reasoning for the Semantic Web I (URSW 2006, URSW 2007, URSW 2005)

Abstract

We focus on replacing human processing web resources by automated processing. On an experimental system we identify uncertainty issues making this process difficult for automated processing and try to minimize human intervention. In particular we focus on uncertainty issues in a Web content mining system and a user preference mining system. We conclude with possible future development heading to an extension of OWL with uncertainty features.
