The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to Uber-ize and disrupt the home improvement market. This project will increase market efficiency among homeowners and home improvement contractors. The knowledge harvesting and case-based estimation technologies from this project can be applied to a variety of industries in today's knowledge economy, particularly those benefiting from socially cultivated knowledge repositories. This project will promote undergraduate student research and research collaboration at several universities in Virginia.This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project explores the technical feasibility of delivering accurate project estimates for the home improvement market by combining a case-based reasoning approach with crowd intelligence. The project will advance the research in computer science and social sciences. First, the project develops and validates a cost estimation methodology that applies case-based reasoning to a knowledge repository built and evolved by social efforts, through a cycle of knowledge harvesting, organization, augmentation and calibration. Second, the project will develop techniques in focused crawling, multi-document summarization, cased-based reasoning, and advance the research in these fields. Third, the project will develop and evaluate novel, mobile interfaces for knowledge elicitation, augmentation and calibration. These exploratory results will contribute to both computer and social sciences.

这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目的更广泛的影响/商业潜力是Uber-ize和破坏家装市场。该项目将提高房主和房屋装修承包商的市场效率。该项目的知识收获和基于案例的估计技术可以应用于当今知识经济中的各种行业，特别是那些受益于社会培养的知识库的行业。该项目将促进弗吉尼亚州几所大学的本科生研究和研究合作。这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目探讨了通过将基于案例的推理方法与人群智能相结合，为家居装修市场提供准确的项目评估的技术可行性。该项目将促进计算机科学和社会科学的研究。首先，该项目开发并验证了一种成本估算方法，该方法将基于案例的推理应用于通过社会努力建立和发展的知识库，通过知识收集，组织，增强和校准的周期。其次，本计画将发展主题撷取、多文件摘要、范例推理等技术，并推动这些领域的研究。第三，该项目将开发和评估用于知识获取、增强和校准的新型移动的界面。这些探索性的结果将有助于计算机和社会科学。
