A standard requirement of rationality is that preferences obey stochastic dominance. In this paper, we investigate a new variety of dominance violation from the domain of uncertainty. We find that subjects systematically value a packed prospect, $x if one of two mutually exclusive events E1 or E2 obtains, less than an unpacked and dominated prospect, $x if E1 obtains, and $x−ε if E2 obtains. We...

Building multilingual opinionated models requires multilingual corpora annotated with opinion labels. Unfortunately, such kind of corpora are rare. We consider opinions in this work as subjective or objective. In this paper, we introduce an annotation method that can be reliably transferred across topic domains and across languages. The method starts by building a classifier that annotates sent...

In this paper, we consider the extension of multi-objective constraint optimization algorithms to the case where there are additional tradeoffs, reducing the number of optimal solutions. We focus especially on branch-and-bound algorithms which use a mini-buckets algorithm for generating the upper bound at each node (in the context of maximizing values of objectives). Since the main bottleneck o...

Background and Aim: Business Intelligence, not as a tool of a product but as a new approach is propounded in organizations to make tough decisions in business as shortly as possible. Hospital managers often need business intelligence in their fiscal, operational, and clinical reports and indices. Recognition of critical success factors (CSF) is necessary for each organization or project. Yet, t...

Identification of protein families is a computational biology challenge that needs efficient and reliable methods. Here we introduce the concept of dominance and propose a novel combined approach based on Distance Alignment Search Tool (DAST), which contains an exact algorithm with bounds. Our experiments show that this method successfully finds the most similar proteins in a set without solvin...

The tradeoffformulation task is to identify the central issues in a decision problem by recognizing strategies that are inadmissible on qualitative grounds. SUDO-PLANNER formulates tradeoffs for an example medical decision problem by proving decisiontheoretically that certain plan classes are dominated based on a knowledge base of qualitative relations in the domain. The classical planning repr...
