Computing Science Seminar. Booth on "Trust-sensitive belief revision"
-Abstract: Belief revision is concerned with incorporating new information into a pre-existing set of beliefs. When the new information comes from another agent, we must first determine if that agent should be trusted. In this talk, we define trust as a pre-processing step before revision. We emphasise that trust in an...

Computing Science Seminar. Thomas on "Users versus models: What observation tells us about effectiveness metrics"
-Abstract: Retrieval system effectiveness can be measured in two quite different ways: by monitoring the behaviour of users and gathering data about the ease and accuracy with which they accomplish certain specified information-seeking tasks; or by using numeric effectiveness metrics to score system runs in reference to a set of relevance...

Computing Science Seminar. Caminada on "A Discussion Game for Grounded Semantics"
-Abstract: We present a discussion game, based on the concept of strong admissibility, where the ability to win the game for a particular argument coincides with the argument being in the grounded extension. Our game is an improvement to the previously stated Standard Grounded Game (SGG) and Grounded Persuasion Game...

Computing Science Seminar. du Boulay on "Motivation in Learning"
-Abstract: Intelligent Tutoring Systems and Intelligent Learning Environments have traditionally focused on adapting the content of the material that their students undertake according to the individual needs of each student. For the most part this has meant adapting to the intellectual progress that the students are making through whatever domain...

Computing Science Seminar. Baader on "Ontology-based Monitoring of Dynamic Systems"
-Abstract: Our understanding of the notion “dynamic system” is a rather broad one: such a system has states, which can change over time. Ontologies are used to describe the states of the system, possibly in an incomplete way. Monitoring is then concerned with deciding whether some run of the system or all of its...
