Although machine learning systems are often effective in real-world applications, there are situations in which they can be even better when provided with some degree of end user feedback. This is especially true when the machine learning system needs to customize itself to the end user's preferences, such as in...
This volume contains the papers accepted for the informal workshop on Knowledge Compilation and Speedup Learning held along with the Machine Learning Conference in Aberdeen Scotland. This workshop is a sequel to the first Knowledge Compilation workshop, which was organized by Jim Bennett, Tom Dieterich, and Jack Mostow in Otter...
Spatially explicit information on the species composition and structure of forest vegetation is needed at broad spatial scales for natural resource policy analysis and ecological research. We present a method for predictive vegetation mapping that applies direct gradient analysis and nearest-neighbor imputation to ascribe detailed ground attributes of vegetation to...
