Personalization for real-world machine-learning applications usually has to incorporate user feedback. Unfortunately, user feedback often suffers from sparsity and possible inconsistencies. Here we present an algorithm that exploits feedback for learning only when it is consistent. The user provides feedback on a small subset of the data. Based on the data representation alone, our algorithm em...

We present a high-resolution shoreline data set amalgamated from two databases in the public domain. The data have undergone xtensive processing and are free of internal inconsistencies such as erratic points and crossing segments. The shorelines are constructed entirely from hierarchically arranged closed polygons. The data can be used to simplify data searches and data selections or to study ...

In this contribution we will discuss some issues of GPS ambiguity resolution. The issues are related to inconsistencies and misconceptions which are unfortunately still present in some of the practical methods used for ambiguity resolution. In this contribution four such pitfalls will be identified and discussed. The first two pitfalls are concerned with the way the integer ambiguities are some...

Evolutionary synthesis models have been used to study the physical properties of unresolved populations in a wide range of scenarios. Unfortunately, their self-consistency are difficult to test and there are some theoretical open questions without an answer: (1) The change of the homology relations assumed in the computation of isochrones due to the effect of stellar winds (or rotation) and the...

In order to study the prevalence, nature (direction), and causes of reporting errors in psychology, we checked the consistency of reported test statistics, degrees of freedom, and p values in a random sample of high- and low-impact psychology journals. In a second study, we established the generality of reporting errors in a random sample of recent psychological articles. Our results, on the ba...

Most cadastral systems today are coordinate-based and contain only a weak or no reference to measurements the origin of information. In some contexts, this is largely due transition land data management maintenance from an analogue digital environment. This study focuses on analysing importance measurement-based cadastre digitisation process in North Macedonia Slovenia. The survey-based boundar...
