Self-determination and persistence in a real-life setting: Toward a motivational model of high school dropout.
- Journal of Personality and Social Psychology,
, 1997
"... The purpose of this study was to propose and test a motivational model of high school dropout. The model posits that teachers, parents, and the school administration's behaviors toward students influence students' perceptions of competence and autonomy. The less autonomy supportive the so ..."

On the Semantics and Automated Deduction for PLFC, a logic of possibilistic uncertainty and fuzziness
"... Possibilistic logic (PL) is a well-known graded logic of uncertainty suitable to reason under incomplete information and partially inconsistent knowledge, which is built upon classical first order logic. Recently, a syntax of an extension of PL (called PLFC) dealing with fuzzy constants and fuzzily ..."

Materials for an exploratory theory of the network society.
- The British Journal of Sociology
, 2000
"... ABSTRACT This article aims at proposing some elements for a grounded theor y of the network society. The network society is the social structure characteristic of the Information Age, as tentatively identi ed by empirical, cross-cultural investigation. It permeates most societies in the world, in v ..."

IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON SIGNAL PROCESSING 1 Hidden Relationships: Bayesian Estimation with Partial Knowledge
"... Abstract—We address the problem of Bayesian estimation where the statistical relation between the signal and measure-ments is only partially known. We propose modeling partial Bayesian knowledge by using an auxiliary random vector called instrument. The statistical relations between the instrument a ..."

approaches for estimation in partial knowledge scenarios. The first is based on replacing the orthogonality principle by an oblique counterpart, and is proven to coincide with the method of instrumental variables from statistics, although developed in a different context. The second is based on a worst
Efficient Discovery of Functional and Approximate Dependencies Using Partitions (Extended version)
- In ICDE
, 1997
"... Discovery of functional dependencies from relations has been identified as an important database analysis technique. In this paper, we present a new approach for finding functional dependencies from large databases, based on partitioning the set of rows with respect to their attribute values. The us ..."

Handling of Numeric Ranges for Graph-Based Knowledge Discovery
, 2011
"... Discovering interesting patterns from structural domains is an important task in many real world domains. In recent years, graph-based approaches have demonstrated to be a straight forward tool to mine structural data. However, not all graph-based knowledge discovery algorithms deal with numerical ..."
