  • Shrunken learning rates do not improve AdaBoost on benchmark datasets

    Creator:
    Forrest, Daniel L. K.
    Abstract:
    Recent work has shown that AdaBoost can be viewed as an algorithm that maximizes the margin on the training data via functional gradient descent. Under this interpretation, the weight computed by AdaBoost, for each hypothesis generated, can be viewed as a step size parameter in a gradient descent search. Friedman...

  • Investigation of automatic construction of reactive controllers

    Creator:
    Westerberg, Caryl J.
    Abstract:
    In real-time control systems, the value of a control decision depends not only on the correctness of the decision but also on the time when that decision is available. Recent work in real-time decision making has used machine learning techniques to automatically construct reactive controllers, that is, controllers with little...

  • Optimal inference with local expressions

    Creator:
    Borujerdi, Mohammad
    Abstract:
    Probabilistic inference using Bayesian networks is now a well-established approach for reasoning under uncertainty. Among many e ciency-driven tech- niques which have been developed, the Optimal Factoring Problem (OFP) is distinguished for presenting a combinatorial optimization point of view on the problem. The contribution of this thesis is to extend...

  • Evaluation functions in aerial image segmentation

    Creator:
    Langford, William T.
    Abstract:
    Remote sensing is the most practical way to acquire large amounts of land cover data for monitoring and understanding environmental change, so it is important to be able to map land cover from imagery. Maps defining land cover patches as polygons rather than pixels greatly improve processing efficiency in models...

  • Heuristic search in symbolic probability inference

    Creator:
    Pan, Yonghong
    Abstract:
    I present a new heuristic search approach to compute approximate answers for the probability query in belief nets. This approach can compute the 'best' bounds for a query in a period of any given time (if time permitted, it will get an exact value). It inherits the essence of Symbolic...

  • Resource placement, data rearrangement, and Hamiltonian cycles in torus networks

    Creator:
    Bae, Myung Mun
    Abstract:
    Many parallel machines, both commercial and experimental, have been/are being designed with toroidal interconnection networks. For a given number of nodes, the torus has a relatively larger diameter, but better cost/performance tradeoffs, such as higher channel bandwidth, and lower node degree, when compared to the hypercube. Thus, the torus is...

  • Metacontent based techniques for the regression testing of component based software : a case study

    Creator:
    Chattopadhyay, Soumya
    Abstract:
    Component based software technologies are viewed as essential for creating the software systems of the future. However the use of externally provided components has serious drawbacks for a wide range of software engineering activities often because of a lack of information about the components. One such drawback involves validation of...
