Efficiency-conscious propositionalization for relational learning

Filip Železný (2004)

Kybernetika

Systems aiming at discovering interesting knowledge in data, now commonly called data mining systems, are typically employed in finding patterns in a single relational table. Most of mainstream data mining tools are not applicable in the more challenging task of finding knowledge in structured data represented by a multi-relational database. Although a family of methods known as inductive logic programming have been developed to tackle that challenge by immediate means, the idea of adapting structured...

Employing different loss functions for the classification of images via supervised learning

Radu Boţ, André Heinrich, Gert Wanka (2014)

Open Mathematics

Supervised learning methods are powerful techniques to learn a function from a given set of labeled data, the so-called training data. In this paper the support vector machines approach is applied to an image classification task. Starting with the corresponding Tikhonov regularization problem, reformulated as a convex optimization problem, we introduce a conjugate dual problem to it and prove that, whenever strong duality holds, the function to be learned can be expressed via the dual optimal solutions....

Epoch-incremental reinforcement learning algorithms

Roman Zajdel (2013)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

In this article, a new class of the epoch-incremental reinforcement learning algorithm is proposed. In the incremental mode, the fundamental TD(0) or TD(λ) algorithm is performed and an environment model is created. In the epoch mode, on the basis of the environment model, the distances of past-active states to the terminal state are computed. These distances and the reinforcement terminal state signal are used to improve the agent policy.

Equivalence of compositional expressions and independence relations in compositional models

Francesco M. Malvestuto (2014)

Kybernetika

We generalize Jiroušek’s (right) composition operator in such a way that it can be applied to distribution functions with values in a “semifield“, and introduce (parenthesized) compositional expressions, which in some sense generalize Jiroušek’s “generating sequences” of compositional models. We say that two compositional expressions are equivalent if their evaluations always produce the same results whenever they are defined. Our first result is that a set system is star-like with centre X if...

Estimating composite functions by model selection

Yannick Baraud, Lucien Birgé (2014)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

We consider the problem of estimating a function s on [ - 1 , 1 ] k for large values of k by looking for some best approximation of s by composite functions of the form g u . Our solution is based on model selection and leads to a very general approach to solve this problem with respect to many different types of functions g , u and statistical frameworks. In particular, we handle the problems of approximating s by additive functions, single and multiple index models, artificial neural networks, mixtures of Gaussian...

Euler's Polyhedron Formula

Jesse Alama (2008)

Formalized Mathematics

Euler's polyhedron theorem states for a polyhedron p, thatV - E + F = 2,where V, E, and F are, respectively, the number of vertices, edges, and faces of p. The formula was first stated in print by Euler in 1758 [11]. The proof given here is based on Poincaré's linear algebraic proof, stated in [17] (with a corrected proof in [18]), as adapted by Imre Lakatos in the latter's Proofs and Refutations [15].As is well known, Euler's formula is not true for all polyhedra. The condition on polyhedra considered...

Evaluating many valued modus ponens

Dana Hliněná, Vladislav Biba (2012)

Kybernetika

This paper deals with many valued case of modus ponens. Cases with implicative and with clausal rules are studied. Many valued modus ponens via discrete connectives is studied with implicative rules as well as with clausal rules. Some properties of discrete modus ponens operator are given.

Evolutionary algorithms for job-shop scheduling

Khaled Mesghouni, Slim Hammadi, Pierre Borne (2004)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

This paper explains how to use Evolutionary Algorithms (EA) to deal with a flexible job shop scheduling problem, especially minimizing the makespan. The Job-shop Scheduling Problem (JSP) is one of the most difficult problems, as it is classified as an NP-complete one (Carlier and Chretienne, 1988; Garey and Johnson, 1979). In many cases, the combination of goals and resources exponentially increases the search space, and thus the generation of consistently good scheduling is particularly difficult...

Evolutionary training for Dynamical Recurrent Neural Networks: an application in finantial time series prediction.

Miguel Delgado, M. Carmen Pegalajar, Manuel Pegalajar Cuéllar (2006)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Theoretical and experimental studies have shown that traditional training algorithms for Dynamical Recurrent Neural Networks may suffer of local optima solutions, due to the error propagation across the recurrence. In the last years, many researchers have put forward different approaches to solve this problem, most of them being based on heuristic procedures. In this paper, the training capabilities of evolutionary techniques are studied, for Dynamical Recurrent Neural Networks. The performance...

Evolution-fuzzy rule based system with parameterized consequences

Piotr Czekalski (2006)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

While using automated learning methods, the lack of accuracy and poor knowledge generalization are both typical problems for a rule-based system obtained on a given data set. This paper introduces a new method capable of generating an accurate rule-based fuzzy inference system with parameterized consequences using an automated, off-line learning process based on multi-phase evolutionary computing and a training data covering algorithm. The presented method consists of the following steps: obtaining...
