Forecasting support systems (FSSs) have little value if users distrust the information and advice that they offer. Two experiments were used to investigate: (i) factors that influence the levels of users' stated trust in advice provided by an FSS, when this advice is provided in the form of interval forecasts, (ii) the extent to which stated trust is associated with users' modifications of the provided forecasts, and (iii) the consequences of these modifications for the calibration of the interval forecasts. Stated trust was influenced by the levels of noise in time series and whether a trend was present but was unaffected by the presence or absence of point forecasts. It was also higher when the intervals were framed as 'best-case/worst-case' forecasts and when the FSS provided explanations. Absence of trust was associated with a tendency to narrow the provided prediction intervals, which reduced their calibration. (C) 2012 International Institute of Forecasters.

Probabilistic matrix factorization based collaborative filtering with implicit trust derived from review ratings information Ercan, Eda; Taşkaya Temizel, Tuğba; Department of Information Systems (2010) Recommender systems aim to suggest relevant items that are likely to be of interest to the users using a variety of information resources such as user proﬁles, trust information and users past predictions. However, typical recommender systems suffer from poor scalability, generating incomprehensible and not useful recommendations and data sparsity problem. In this work, we have proposed a probabilistic matrix factorization based local trust boosted recommendation system which handles data sparsity, scalabil...
Effective & efficient methods for web search result diversification Özdemiray, Ahmet Murat; Altıngövde, İsmail Sengör; Department of Computer Engineering (2015) Search result diversification is one of the key techniques to cope with the ambiguous and/or underspecified information needs of the web users. In this study we first extensively evaluate the performance of a state-of-the-art explicit diversification strategy and pin-point its weaknesses. We propose basic yet novel optimizations to remedy these weaknesses and boost the performance of this algorithm. Secondly, we cast the diversification problem to the problem of ranking aggregation and propose to materializ...
TRUST IN BANKS: A MULTI-LEVEL ANALYSIS Öztürk, Yasemin; Öztürk, Yasemin; Department of Financial Mathematics (2023-1-06) Trust is required for a healthy and well-functioning financial system. However, limited evidence is present on what affects confidence towards the banks. Utilizing a sample drawn from the latest waves of World Value Survey (WVS), this thesis constructs multilevel- logit models to account for factors at both the micro and macro level of individuals. The findings confirm the nested structure of trust in banks. The findings of this study show that the majority of socio-economic characteristics of individuals e...
Explicit Search Result Diversification Using Score and Rank Aggregation Methods Ozdemiray, Ahmet Murat; Altıngövde, İsmail Sengör (2015-06-01) Search result diversification is one of the key techniques to cope with the ambiguous and underspecified information needs of web users. In the last few years, strategies that are based on the explicit knowledge of query aspects emerged as highly effective ways of diversifying search results. Our contributions in this article are two-fold. First, we extensively evaluate the performance of a state-of-the-art explicit diversification strategy and pin-point its potential weaknesses. We propose basic yet novel ...
Evaluating expert advice in forecasting: Users' reactions to presumed vs. experienced credibility ÖNKAL, DİLEK; Gönül, Mustafa Sinan; Goodwin, Paul; Thomson, Mary; Oz, Esra (2017-01-01) In expert knowledge elicitation (EKE) for forecasting, the perceived credibility of an expert is likely to affect the weighting attached to their advice. Four experiments have investigated the extent to which the implicit weighting depends on the advisor's experienced (reflecting the accuracy of their past forecasts), or presumed (based on their status) credibility. Compared to a control group, advice from a source with a high experienced credibility received a greater weighting, but having a low level of e...
