Matter and symbols of the artificial
Rocha, L.M. - 2009
The study of complex systems should be based on a systems-theoretic framework which requires both self-organizing and symbolic dimensions. An inclusive framework based on the notion of semiotics is advanced to build models capable of representing, as well as evolving in their environments, with...

Bootstrap planning: Theory and application
Chen, P.C. - 2008
We identify a general framework for weak planning called bootstrap planning, which is defined as global planning using only a local planner along with some memory for learning intermediate subgoals. We present a family of algorithms for bootstrap planning, and provide some initial theory on...

Loss-sensitive decision rules for intrusion detection and response
Wang, Jia - 2004
When large numbers of alerts are reported by intrusion detection (ID) systems in very fine granularity, it prevents system administrators from handling the alerts effectively. This in turn degrades the usability of an intrusion detection system. Aside from detection, timely responses of...

Learning from collective preferences, behavior, and beliefs
Vaughan, Jennifer Wortman - 2009
Machine learning has become one of the most active and exciting areas of computer science research, in large part because of its wide-spread applicability to problems as diverse as natural language processing, speech recognition, spam detection, search, computer vision, gene discovery, medical...

Bayesian Learning in Sparse Graphical Factor Models via Variational Mean-Field Annealing
West, Mike - 2010
We describe a class of sparse latent factor models, called graphical factor models (GFMs), and relevant sparse learning algorithms for posterior mode estimation. Linear, Gaussian GFMs have sparse, orthogonal factor loadings matrices, that, in addition to sparsity of the implied covariance...

Seer: Maximum likelihood regression for learning-speed curves
Kadie, Carl Myers - 1995
The research presented here focuses on modeling machine-learning performance. The thesis introduces Seer, a system that generates empirical observations of classification-learning performance and then uses those observations to create statistical models. The models can be used to predict the...
