  • Bayesian ontologies in AI systems 
    Costa, Paulo C. G.; Laskey, Kathryn B.; AlGhamdi, Ghazi (2006-07-30)
    Ontologies have become ubiquitous in current-generation information systems. An ontology is an explicit, formal representation of the entities and relationships that can exist in a domain of application. Following a ...
  • Bayesian Semantics for the Semantic Web 
    Costa, Paulo C. G. (George Mason University, 2005-07-12)
    Uncertainty is ubiquitous. Any representation scheme intended to model real-world actions and processes must be able to cope with the effects of uncertain phenomena. A major shortcoming of existing Semantic Web technologies ...
  • DTB Project: A Behavioral Model for Detecting Insider Threats 
    Costa, Paulo C. G.; Laskey, Kathryn B.; AlGhamdi, Ghazi; Barbará, Daniel; Shackelford, Thomas; Mirza, Sepideh; Revankar, Mehul (MITRE Corporation, 2005-05)
    This paper describes the Detection of Threat Behavior (DTB) project, a joint effort being conducted by George Mason University (GMU) and Information Extraction and Transport, Inc. (IET). DTB uses novel approaches for ...
  • MEBN Logic: A Key Enabler for Network Centric Warfare 
    Costa, Paulo C. G.; Laskey, Kathryn B.; Takikawa, Masami; Pool, Michael; Fung, Francis; Wright, Edward J. (CCRP Publications, 2005-06)
    Among the lessons learned from recent conflicts stands the dramatic change in the very way wars are fought. There are no more clear-cut enemies or allies; rules of engagement have become increasingly fuzzy; guerrilla and ...
  • Multi-Entity Bayesian Networks without Multi-Tears 
    Costa, Paulo C. G.; Laskey, Kathryn B. (2006-01-27)
    An introduction is provided to Multi-Entity Bayesian Networks (MEBN), a logic system that integrates First Order Logic (FOL) with Bayesian probability theory. MEBN extends ordinary Bayesian networks to allow representation ...
  • Of Starships and Klingons: Bayesian Logic for the 23rd Century 
    Laskey, Kathryn B.; Costa, Paulo C. G. (AUAI Press, 2005-07)
    Intelligent systems in an open world must reason about many interacting entities related to each other in diverse ways and having uncertain features and relationships. Traditional probabilistic languages lack the expressive ...
  • PR-OWL: A Bayesian Framework for the Semantic Web 
    Costa, Paulo C. G.; Laskey, Kathryn B.; Laskey, Kenneth J. (2005-11-07)
    This paper addresses a major weakness of current technologies for the Semantic Web, namely the lack of a principled means to represent and reason about uncertainty. This not only hinders the realization of the original ...
  • Probabilistic Ontologies for Efficient Resource Sharing in Semantic Web Services 
    Costa, Paulo C. G.; Laskey, Kathryn B.; Laskey, Kenneth J. (Information Extraction & Transport, Inc. (IET), 2006-11)
    Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a key technology to support interoperability among data and processing resources. Semantic interoperability requires mapping between vocabularies of independently developed resources, a ...
  • A Proposal for a W3C XG on Uncertainty Reasoning for the World Wide Web 
    Laskey, Kenneth J.; Costa, Paulo C. G.; Laskey, Kathryn B. (Information Extraction & Transport, Inc. (IET), 2006-11)
    The Semantic Web envisions effortless cooperation between humans and computers, seamless interoperability and information exchange among web applications, and rapid and accurate identification and invocation of appropriate ...
