Matching information

Matching information

We analyze the allocation of heterogeneous experts to teams of fixed size. Experts differ in the precision of their information about an unknown state and make a joint decision, aggregating their potentially correlated information. In this setting, we study the assortative matching properties (Becker (1973)) of teams. The main insight is that in most cases, the optimal matching contains no team...

Stereo matching with partial information

In this paper, we address the stereo matching problem in stereo videos using partially informed Markov Random Fields (MRFs) using the motion information between subsequent frames as a side information. We use the motion vectors within one of the videos to regularize the disparity estimate using this motion field. The proposed scheme enables us to obtain good disparity estimates using faster and...

A Theory of Information Matching

In this work, we propose a theory for information matching. It is motivated by the observation that retrieval is about the relevance matching between two sets of properties (features), namely, the information need representation and information item representation. However, many probabilistic retrieval models rely on fixing one representation and optimizing the other (e.g. fixing the single inf...

Matching Information and Ambient Media

Ambient media have recently been introduced as a means to present information in our surrounding space in subtle and unmonopolizing ways, promoting peripheral awareness. This paper explores the issue of matching virtual information to ambient media, investigating ambient counterparts as natural matches and ambient links as user controlled matches. Ambient counterparts are media in our surroundi...
