SGER: computer-assisted interpretation of citizen input in rebuilding lower Manhattan
نویسندگان
چکیده
Computer-mediated communication, specifically facilitated by the Internet, offers new channels for citizens to express their views to elected officials, government agencies, and civic associations. Individuals have embraced email, mailing lists, and web-based forms as a method of registering their opinions, frequently resulting in tens of thousands of comments addressed to a given entity. The resulting deluge poses a technical and political challenge: how can official recipients, who have invited citizen input, make sense of commentary received on such a massive scale? How can meaningful patterns be efficiently and effectively identified? We propose the use of computer-assisted interpretation and dynamic visualization complemented by human analysis as one means of addressing these challenges.

In many applications, discrimination among decision making units (DMUs) is a problematic technical task procedure to decision makers in data envelopment analysis (DEA). The DEA models unable to discriminate between extremely efficient DMUs. Hence, there is a growing interest in improving discrimination power in DEA yet. The aim of this paper is ranking extreme efficient DMUs in DEA based on exp...
