Abstract:: Summary: Four proposed metrics: [1] average relative reduction in training time (sample size, number of training experiences) [2] jumpstart (initial advantage of transfer algorithm) [3] handicap (how long it takes the no-transfer algorithm to overcome the jumpstart) [4] asymptotic advantage (how much better the transfer learning algorithm does in the...

Abstract:: Collaborative filtering (CF) algorithms are used in a wide range of internet applications. However the chief objective of using CF algorithms across most of these applications is to discover items that might be of interest to its users. CF algorithms work by obtaining feedback from users on the items that...

Abstract:: This paper surveys the activity recognition task from a machine learning perspective. I give a definition of this problem, and I classify different activity recognition problems into two categories. I show the activities can be hierarchical, and based on such hierarchies I synthesize a language to describe activities. I give...

Abstract:: A diagnostic policy species what test to perform next based on the results of previous tests and when to stop and make a diagnosis. Cost-sensitive diagnostic policies perform tradeoffs between (a) the costs of tests and (b) the costs of misdiagnoses. An optimal diagnostic policy minimizes the expected total cost....

Abstract:: What is the relationship between learning and reasoning? Much recent work in machine learning has been criticized for focusing on learning and ignoring reasoning. This paper attempts to describe the various ways in which machine learning research has (and has not) incorporated reasoning. The paper argues that there are important...

Abstract:: "The specifi c problem addressed in this proposal is the development of good approximation algorithms for solving problems that have partial observability. The model we propose associates costs with obtaining information about the current state. We want to predict when and how much it is necessary to observe. We want...

Abstract:: "Fifty years after the pioneering work of McCulloch and Pitts, the study of neural nets is alive and active. In this paper, I have discussed some of the work that is of current interest to me and my co-workers. I would, perhaps, be remiss if I failed to mention some...

Abstract:: Brief descriptions of the I/O requirements for four production oceanography programs running at Oregon State University are presented. The applications all rely exclusively on array-oriented, sequential file operations. Persistent files are used for checkpointing and movie making, while temporary files are used to store out-of-core data.

Creator:: Oregon State University. Dept. of Computer Science and Cull, Paul, 1943-
Abstract:: This note briefly discusses some of the classical results of McCulloch and Pitts. It then deals with some current research in neural nets. Several questions about neural nets are shown to be computationally difficult by showing that they are NP-Complete or worse. The size of neural nets necessary to compute...
