Learnheuristics: hybridizing metaheuristics with machine learning for optimization with dynamic inputs

Laura Calvet, Jésica de Armas, David Masip, Angel A. Juan (2017)

Open Mathematics

This paper reviews the existing literature on the combination of metaheuristics with machine learning methods and then introduces the concept of learnheuristics, a novel type of hybrid algorithms. Learnheuristics can be used to solve combinatorial optimization problems with dynamic inputs (COPDIs). In these COPDIs, the problem inputs (elements either located in the objective function or in the constraints set) are not fixed in advance as usual. On the contrary, they might vary in a predictable (non-random)...

Learning Bayesian networks by Ant Colony Optimisation: searching in two different spaces.

Luis M. de Campos, José A. Gámez, José M. Puerta (2002)

Mathware and Soft Computing

The most common way of automatically learning Bayesian networks from data is the combination of a scoring metric, the evaluation of the fitness of any given candidate network to the data base, and a search procedure to explore the search space. Usually, the search is carried out by greedy hill-climbing algorithms, although other techniques such as genetic algorithms, have also been used.A recent metaheuristic, Ant Colony Optimisation (ACO), has been successfully applied to solve a great variety...

Learning extremal regulator implementation by a stochastic automaton and stochastic approximation theory

Ivan Brůha (1980)

Aplikace matematiky

There exist many different approaches to the investigation of the characteristics of learning system. These approaches use different branches of mathematics and, thus, obtain different results, some of them are too complicated and others do not match the results of practical experiments. This paper presents the modelling of learning systems by means of stochastic automate, mainly one particular model of a learning extremal regulator. The proof of convergence is based on Dvoretzky's Theorem on stochastic...

Learning from imprecise examples with GA-P algorithms.

Luciano Sánchez, Inés Couso (1998)

Mathware and Soft Computing

GA-P algorithms combine genetic programming and genetic algorithms to solve symbolic regression problems. In this work, we will learn a model by means of an interval GA-P procedure which can use precise or imprecise examples. This method provides us with an analytic expression that shows the dependence between input and output variables, using interval arithmetic. The method also provides us with interval estimations of the parameters on which this expression depends.The algorithm that we propose...

Learning fuzzy systems. An objective function-approach.

Frank Höppner, Frank Klawonn (2004)

Mathware and Soft Computing

One of the most important aspects of fuzzy systems is that they are easily understandable and interpretable. This property, however, does not come for free but poses some essential constraints on the parameters of a fuzzy system (like the linguistic terms), which are sometimes overlooked when learning fuzzy system autornatically from data. In this paper, an objective function-based approach to learn fuzzy systems is developed, taking these constraints explicitly into account. Starting from fuzzy...

Learning imprecise semantic concepts from image databases.

Daniel Sánchez, Jesús Chamorro-Martínez (2002)

Mathware and Soft Computing

In this paper we introduce a model to represent high-level semantic concepts that can be perceived in images. The concepts are learned and represented by means of a set of association rules that relate the presence of perceptual features to the fulfillment of a concept for a set of images. Since both the set of images where a perceptual feature appears and the set of images fulfilling a given concept are fuzzy, we use in fact fuzzy association rules for the learning model. The concepts so acquired...

Les schémas mentaux : représenter et maintenir une connaissance apprise

Denis Pierre (1997)

Mathématiques et Sciences Humaines

Nous nous intéressons à l'apprentissage à partir d'exemples et à la résolution de problème dans un univers évolutif représenté par une base de connaissances incomplète. Nous formalisons un cadre de représentation de connaissances susceptible d'être élaboré et critiqué par des humains comme par des machines. Cette représentation des connaissances est appelée théorie semi-empirique car cette forme de théorie n'est pas complètement axiomatique. Nous avons formalisé la gestion de la croissance incrémentale...

Linear discriminant analysis with a generalization of the Moore-Penrose pseudoinverse

Tomasz Górecki, Maciej Łuczak (2013)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

The Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) technique is an important and well-developed area of classification, and to date many linear (and also nonlinear) discrimination methods have been put forward. A complication in applying LDA to real data occurs when the number of features exceeds that of observations. In this case, the covariance estimates do not have full rank, and thus cannot be inverted. There are a number of ways to deal with this problem. In this paper, we propose improving LDA in this...

Local stability conditions for discrete-time cascade locally recurrent neural networks

Krzysztof Patan (2010)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

The paper deals with a specific kind of discrete-time recurrent neural network designed with dynamic neuron models. Dynamics are reproduced within each single neuron, hence the network considered is a locally recurrent globally feedforward. A crucial problem with neural networks of the dynamic type is stability as well as stabilization in learning problems. The paper formulates local stability conditions for the analysed class of neural networks using Lyapunov's first method. Moreover, a stabilization...

Locally weighted neural networks for an analysis of the biosensor response

Romas Baronas, Feliksas Ivanauskas, Romualdas Maslovskis, Marijus Radavičius, Pranas Vaitkus (2007)

Kybernetika

This paper presents a semi-global mathematical model for an analysis of a signal of amperometric biosensors. Artificial neural networks were applied to an analysis of the biosensor response to multi-component mixtures. A large amount of the learning and test data was synthesized using computer simulation of the biosensor response. The biosensor signal was analyzed with respect to the concentration of each component of the mixture. The paradigm of locally weighted linear regression was used for retraining...

Max-min fuzzy neural networks for solving relational equations.

Armando Blanco, Miguel Delgado, Ignacio Requena (1994)

Mathware and Soft Computing

The Relational Equations approach is one of the most usual ones for describing (Fuzzy) Systems and in most cases, it is the final expression for other descriptions. This is why the identification of Relational Equations from a set of examples has received considerable atention in the specialized literature. This paper is devoted to this topic, more specifically to the topic of max-min neural networks for identification. Three methods of learning Fuzzy Systems are developed by combining the most...

Mixture of experts architectures for neural networks as a special case of conditional expectation formula

Jiří Grim (1998)

Kybernetika

Recently a new interesting architecture of neural networks called “mixture of experts” has been proposed as a tool of real multivariate approximation or prediction. We show that the underlying problem is closely related to approximating the joint probability density of involved variables by finite mixture. Particularly, assuming normal mixtures, we can explicitly write the conditional expectation formula which can be interpreted as a mixture-of- experts network. In this way the related optimization...

Multi-label classification using error correcting output codes

Tomasz Kajdanowicz, Przemysław Kazienko (2012)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

A framework for multi-label classification extended by Error Correcting Output Codes (ECOCs) is introduced and empirically examined in the article. The solution assumes the base multi-label classifiers to be a noisy channel and applies ECOCs in order to recover the classification errors made by individual classifiers. The framework was examined through exhaustive studies over combinations of three distinct classification algorithms and four ECOC methods employed in the multi-label classification...

Multiple-instance learning with pairwise instance similarity

Liming Yuan, Jiafeng Liu, Xianglong Tang (2014)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Multiple-Instance Learning (MIL) has attracted much attention of the machine learning community in recent years and many real-world applications have been successfully formulated as MIL problems. Over the past few years, several Instance Selection-based MIL (ISMIL) algorithms have been presented by using the concept of the embedding space. Although they delivered very promising performance, they often require long computation times for instance selection, leading to a low efficiency of the whole...
