Creator:: Cerbone, G. (Giuseppe)
Abstract:: Many important application problems in engineering can be formalized as nonlinear optimization tasks. However, numerical methods for solving such problems are brittle and do not scale well. For example, these methods depend critically on choosing a good starting point from which to perform the optimization search. In high-dimensional spaces, numerical...

Creator:: Mishra, Prafulla K.
Abstract:: AM is a computer program written by Doug Lenat that discovers elementary mathematics starting from some initial knowledge of set theory. The success of this program is not clearly understood. This work is an attempt to explore the search space of AM in order to understand the success and eventual...

Creator:: Koff, Caroline Nan
Abstract:: A specialized ATMS for efficiently computing equivalence relations in multiple contexts is introduced. This specialized ATMS overcomes the problems with existing solutions to reasoning with equivalence relations. The most direct implementation of an equivalence relation in the ATMS-encoding the reflexive, transitive, and symmetric rules in the consumer architecture-produces redundant equality...

Creator:: Almuallim, Hussein Saleh
Abstract:: The coverage of a learning algorithm is the number of concepts that can be learned by that algorithm from samples of a given size for given accuracy and confidence parameters. This thesis begins by asking whether good learning algorithms can be designed by maximizing their coverage. There are three questions...

Creator:: Flann, Nicholas S.
Abstract:: Knowledge compilation improves search-intensive problem-solvers that are easily specified but inefficient. One promising approach improves efficiency by constructing a database of problem-instance/best-action pairs that replace problem-solving search with efficient lookup. The database is constructed by reverse enumeration- expanding the complete search space backwards, from the terminal problem instances. This approach...

Creator:: McGregor, Sean
Abstract:: Society faces many complex management problems, particularly in the area of shared public resources such as ecosystems. Existing decision making processes are often guided by personal experience and political ideology rather than state-of-the-art scientific understanding. This dissertation envisions a future in which multiple stakeholders are provided with computational tools for...

Creator:: Shen, Jianqiang
Abstract:: Knowledge workers are struggling in the information flood. There is a growing interest in intelligent desktop environments that help knowledge workers organize their daily life. Intelligent desktop environments allow the desktop user to define a set of “activities” that characterize the user’s desktop work. These environments then attempt to identify...
