Predicting online review scores across reviewer categories
In this paper, we propose and test an approach based on regression models, to predict the review score of an item, across different reviewer categories. The analysis is based on a public dataset with more than 2.5 million hotel reviews, belonging to five specific reviewers' categories. We first compute the relation between the average scores associated with the different categories and generate the corresponding regression model. Then, the extracted model is used for prediction: given the average score of a hotel according to a reviewer category, it predicts the average score associated with another category
Activity matching with human intelligence
Effective matching of activities is the first step toward successful process model matching and search. The problem is nontrivial and has led to a variety of computational similarity metrics and matching approaches, however all still with low performance in terms of precision and recall. In this paper, instead, we study how to leverage on human intelligence to identify matches among activities and show that the problem is not as straightforward as most computational approaches assume. We access human intelligence (i) by crowdsourcing the activity matching problem to generic workers and (ii) by eliciting ground truth matches from experts. The precision and recall we achieve and the qualitative analysis of the results testify huge potential for a human-based activity matching that contemplates disagreement and interpretation.17 page(s
