The performance of the error backpropagation (BP) and ID3 learning algorithms was compared on the task of mapping English text to phonemes and stresses. Under the distributed output code developed by Sejnowski and Rosenberg, it is shown that BP consistently out-performs 1D3 on this task by several percentage points. Three...

This chapter develops a taxonomy of learning methods using techniques based on Newell’s knowledge level. Two properties of each system are defined: knowledge level predictability and knowledge level learning. A system is predictable at the knowledge level if the principle of rationality can be applied to predict its behavior. A...
Ecologists have historically used species-area relationships (SARs) as a tool to understand the spatial distribution of species. Recent work has extended SARs to focus on individual-level distributions to generate individual species area relationships (ISARs). The ISAR approach quantifies whether individuals of a species tend have more or less species richness...
Do you like home smoked meats, fowl, and fish? Chances are they'll taste even better if you do your own smoking. This bulletin tells how to build a simple home smoker and outlines the basic smoking processes.
The general methods employed in smoking are so broad and the process so...
