We think of ontology matching as a dialogue-based interactive mediation process for which we propose a three stage model. A preliminary evaluation shows how we applied this method of eliciting input for ontology matching in the medical domain. Especially, we address the challenge how to use dialogue-based interactivity with the user to rate partial alignments between two ontologies.

many health studies were interested to find the association between multiple predictors with a dependent variable. the popular method to analyze these studies was multiple regressions that assumed the predictors were independent. while in practice some predictors may depend on each other and they could not be presented in a regression model simultaneously, as a result the appropriate models suc...

Fuzzy mediation is an innovative approach to the creation of a framework geared towards supervised and collaborative learning in systems with two controllers, one being an expert controller and the second being a novice one. The nature of fuzzy sets allows for the comparison of inputs to reach a consensus on the overall difference between the controls. In previous works we have highlighted the ...

Despite guidelines and repeated calls from the literature, statistical mediation analysis in youth treatment outcome research is rare. Even more concerning is that many studies that have reported mediation analyses do not fulfill basic requirements for mediation analysis, providing inconclusive data and clinical implications. As a result, after more than five decades of research, it is still la...

Statistical mediation allows researchers to investigate potential causal effects of experimental manipulations through intervening variables. It is a powerful tool for assessing the presence and strength of postulated causal mechanisms. Although mediation is used in certain areas of psychology, it is rarely applied in cognitive psychology and neuroscience. One reason for the scarcity of applica...
