Modern maintenance personel are becoming experts that are rare in number on global scale. The common factors with these experts are 1) they are on the move; 2) they are utilised in global scale; 3) they have multiple information access devices with different capabilities and 4) they rely on information on demand with extensive meta information requirements. The automation services support syste...

Abstract Knowledge-based AI typically depends on a knowledge engineer to construct formal model of domain – but what if experts could do this themselves? This paper describes an extension the Decision Model and Notation (DMN) standard, called Constraint (cDMN). DMN is user-friendly, table-based notation for decision logic, which allows simple procedures without help IT staff. cDMN aims enlarge ...

Developing and extending a biomedical ontology is a very demanding task that can never be considered complete given our ever-evolving understanding of the life sciences. Extension in particular can benefit from the automation of some of its steps, thus releasing experts to focus on harder tasks. Here we present a strategy to support the automation of change capturing within ontology extension w...

Multiplicative weights update algorithms have been used extensively in designing iterative algorithms for many computational tasks. The core idea is to maintain a distribution over a set of experts and update this distribution in an online fashion based on the parameters of the underlying optimization problem. In this report, we study the behavior of a special MWU algorithm used for generating ...
