  • Explanations and Processes to Enable Humans to Assess AI with Respect to Manipulable Properties

    Creator:
    Dodge, Jonathan E.
    Abstract:
    Assessing AI systems is difficult. Humans rely on AI systems in increasing ways, both visible and invisible, meaning a variety of stakeholders need a variety of assessment tools (e.g., a professional auditor, a developer, and an end user all have different needs). We posit that it is possible to provide...

  • Learning functional descriptions from examples

    Creator:
    Flann, Nicholas S.
    Abstract:
    The task of inductive learning from examples places constraints on the representation of training instances and concepts. These constraints are different from, and often incompatible with, the constraints placed on the representation by the performance task. This incompatibility is severe when learning functional concepts and explains why previous researchers have...

  • Expert-gate algorithm

    Creator:
    Joshi, Varad Vidyadhar
    Abstract:
    The goal of Inductive Learning is to produce general rules from a set of seen examples, which can then be applied to other unseen examples. ID3 is an inductive learning algorithm that can be used for the classification task. The input to the algorithm is a set of tuples of...

  • Protein secondary structure prediction using conditional random fields and profiles

    Creator:
    Shen, Rongkun
    Abstract:
    Protein secondary structure prediction plays a pivotal role in predicting protein folding in three-dimensions. Its task is to assign each residue one of the three secondary structure classes helix, strand, or random coil. This is an instance of the problem of sequential supervised learning in machine learning. This thesis describes...

  • Understanding and improving error-correcting output coding

    Creator:
    Kong, Eun Bae
    Abstract:
    Error-correcting output coding (ECOC) is a method for converting a k-classsupervised learning problem into a large number L of two-class supervised learningproblems and then combining the results of these L evaluations. Previous researchhas shown that ECOC can dramatically improve the classi cation accuracy of supervisedlearning algorithms that learn to classify...

  • Applying machine learning for prediction, recommendation, and integration

    Creator:
    Bao, Xinlong
    Abstract:
    This dissertation explores the idea of applying machine learning technologies to help computer users find information and better organize electronic resources, by presenting the research work conducted in the following three applications: FolderPredictor, Stacking Recommendation Engines, and Integrating Learning and Reasoning. FolderPredictor is an intelligent desktop software tool that helps...

  • Concept coverage and its application to two learning tasks

    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...

  • An empirical study into learning through experimentation

    Creator:
    Ruff, Ritchey Alvin
    Abstract:
    A key aspect of how we understand the world revolves around an ability to manipulate our surroundings to experiment. From the scientific method through theories of child development, the ability to experiment is deemed critical; however, few studies have been performed to understand the strengths and weaknesses of different experimental...

  • An investigation of the search space of Lenat's AM program

    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...
