Such revisionist views are sometimes seen, especially by scientists, as being anti-science or as undermining the status of scie...

In this work, we address the problem of online travel time prediction in the context of a bus journey. That is, a journey may be ongoing in the sense that journey events already indicated the progress of the bus on its route. For such an ongoing journey, we are interested in the current prediction of the traveling time from the current bus stop to some destination via a particular sequence of s...
