We introduce P2P Wikipedia, a prototype of a personalized tag-based navigation system for Wikipedia multimedia content. It is the first peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing system able to deal with large files like movies, music, and software, but that is also scalable to HTML content. The combined techniques in our prototype are the automated calculation of tags from HTML content, a personalized P2...

Undoubtedly we also met many challenges when we use those advanced technologies in drug discovery and development. In this review, we describe when genomic information is applied in personal healthcare in general. We illustrate some case exam...

Soft tissue sarcomas are a group of rare malignant tumors with high recurrence and mortality rate. Little progress has been made in the treatment this pathology over past decades. Surgery or without adjuvant/neoadjuvant radiotherapy is still first-line therapy for localized soft sarcomas, chemotherapy an additional option high-risk patients. However, not all patients advanced metastatic benefit...

Machine Translation (MT) has advanced in recent years to produce better translations for clients’ specific domains, and sophisticated tools allow professional translators to obtain translations according to their prior edits. We suggest that MT should be further personalized to the end-user level – the receiver or the author of the text – as done in other applications. As a step in that directi...

When browsing information on large Web sites, users often receive too much irrelevant information. The WWW Information Collection, Collaging, and Programming (Wiccap) system lets ordinary users build personalized Web views, which let them see only the information they want — and in the way they prefer. It provides a set of GUI tools, including a mapping wizard, extraction agent, and presentatio...

A large portion of radio energy in smartphones is wasted during a special waiting period, known as the tail time, after a transmission is completed. In order to save the wasted energy during the tail time, it is important to accurately predict whether a subsequent transmission will occur in the tail period. In this paper, we propose a novel general-purpose predictive dormancy technique, called ...

In retail, demographics are currently regarded as the most convenient base for successful personalized marketing. However, signs point to the dormant power of context recognition. While technologies that can sense the environment are advanced, questions such as what to sense and how to adapt context are largely unanswered. In this paper, we analyze the purchase context of a retail outlet and su...

The tailoring of a firm’s marketing mix to the individual customer is the essence of one-to-one marketing. In this paper, we distinguish between two forms of one-to-one marketing: personalization and customization. Personalization occurs when the firm decides what marketing mix is suitable for the individual. It is usually based on previously collected customer data. Customization occurs when t...
