Prototype Systems

 
leniency aware rating system (http://ratings.smu.edu.sg)
 
This system addresses rating bias caused by raters. leniency (or strictness). Given a set of rating scores, their raters and rated objects, the system returns a quality score for each rated object derived from the rating scores on the object adjusted by the leniency (or strictness) of raters. Here, we define a more lenient rater to be one who gives higher ratings to the objects he/she rates compared with other co-raters of the objects. Conversely, a less lenient rater is one who gives lower ratings to the objects compared with other co-raters.
