Graphical methods in prior elicitation.
Prior elicitation is the process of quantifying an expert's belief in the form of a probability distribution on a parameter(s) to be used in a Bayesian data analysis. Existing methods require experts to quantify their belief by specifying multiple distribution summaries, which are then converted …

User Review Analysis for Requirement Elicitation
… reviews are an important channel for requirement elicitation. However, requirement engineers face challenges when analysing online user reviews, such as data volumes, technical supports, existing techniques, and legal barriers. This thesis proposes a framework solving user review analysis problems …

Coactive Learning Algorithms for Constructive Preference Elicitation
… to employ specialized algorithms for preference elicitation. Preference elicitation algorithms interactively build a utility model of the user preferences and then recommend the instances with the highest utility. Preference elicitation is especially effective when recommending infrequently …

Development of a structured method for knowledge elicitation
The subject of this thesis is, broadly, knowledge elicitation for knowledge-based, or expert systems. The aims of the research were to investigate the transference of techniques of systems analysis to the knowledge elicitation process, and in so doing, to develop a structured method for knowledge …

A requirements elicitation framework for agent-oriented software engineering.
… and describes the development of a requirements elicitation framework. Conceptual modelling in the form of Conceptual Graphs is offered as a means of representing the constituent parts of an agent-based system. In particular, use of a specific graph, the Transaction Model, illustrates how complex …

Privacy elicitation and utilization in distributed data exchange systems
… investigate the problem of privacy constraints elicitation. Typically privacy constraints are defined manually with a tedious procedure by the IT experts based on the desiderata of the users. This approach is not always yielding the best results as designers lacks the domain knowledge required …

Utilising structured information for the representation and elicitation of user preferences
… the representation of formal preferences and the elicitation of a diverse set of those preferences, which can be embedded within the normal user activity in a domain. By doing so, we aim to construct a preference profile on behalf of a user through a simple and effective interaction without …

Improving biomass of the marine microalga Nannochloropsis oculata by chemical elicitation
Marine microalgae are of particular interest due to their ability to biosynthesise specialised metabolites with a variety of important properties, such as antioxidant and antimicrobial potential. Neutral lipids produced by microalgae are also of huge importance because of their desirable …

Elicitation of empathic emotions using film: development of a stimulus set
… Furthermore, there is increasing interest in the elicitation and induction of empathic emotions, particularly in the context of specific psychopathologies that are characterized by dysfunction in both affective (e.g., psychopathy; Blair, 1995) and cognitive (e.g., autism; Hill & Frith, 2003) …

Using task-based elicitation to measure effectiveness of counterfactual conditional instruction
… “task naturalness” was defined as successful elicitation from a “significant majority” of native speakers. Using a process of “iterative, consensusbased, specification-driven testing” (Davidson & Lynch, 2002, p. 7), two types of tasks were developed: 1) Spoken dyadic role-plays designed to …
