The primary objective of this study was to determine the influence of varying degrees of FoVs on human decision-making in a terrainbased search-and-shoot scenario. A total of 25 participants performed in two FoV designs that were presented to them in a random order: A 180*2 FoV, where the computer screen was split into two sections (top and bottom) and each section provided a 180° FoV of the outside scene (front and back); and, a 90*4 FoV, where the computer screen was split into four sections, where each section provided a 90° FoV of the outside scene (front, back, left, and right). Results revealed that performance was better, frustration was less, and effort was less in the 180*2 FoV compared to the 90*4 FoV; however, the mental demand was more in the 180*2 FoV compared to the 90*4 FoV. We highlight the implication of our results for operator’s decision-making in IVD tasks.","PeriodicalId":248656,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Machine Learning and Data Science (MLDS)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125179527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, certain deep RL algorithms have been proposed; however, there is little research that compares deep RL algorithms with traditional RL algorithms in accounting for human decisions. The primary objective of this paper is to compare deep and traditional RL algorithms in a virtual environment concerning their performance, learning speed, ability to account for human decisions, and ability to extract features from the decision environment. We implemented traditional RL algorithms like imitation learning, Q-Learning, and a deep RL algorithm, DeepQ Learning, to train an agent for playing a platform jumper game. For model comparison, we collected human data from 15 human players on the platform jumper game. As part of our evaluation, we also increased the speed of the moving platform in the jumper game to test how humans and model agents responded to the changing game conditions. Results showed that DeepQ approach took more training episodes than the traditional RL algorithms to learn the gameplay. However, the DeepQ algorithm could extract features directly from images of gameplay; whereas, other algorithms had to be fed the extracted features. Furthermore, conventional algorithms performed more human-like in a slow version of the game; however, the DeepQ algorithm performed more humanlike in the fast version of the game.","PeriodicalId":248656,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Machine Learning and Data Science (MLDS)","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123207877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we propose a novel approach for feature selection by traversing back the autoencoders through more probable links.

In this paradigm, decision-makers search for information between multiple options before making a final consequential choice. Prior research in the sampling paradigm has accounted for information search and final choices using computational cognitive models. However, little is known on how cognitive models could account for final choices of participants with different exploration strategies in the presence or absence of an intermediate option. In this paper, we perform an individual-differences analysis and test the ability of computational models to explain final choices of participants with different exploration strategies in the absence or presence of an intermediate option. Specifically, we take an Instance-Based Learning (IBL) model, which relies on recency and frequency processes, and we calibrate this model to final choices of participants exhibiting more-switching (piecewise strategy) or less-switching (comprehensive strategy) between options in different problems. Also, a Natural Mean Heuristic (NMH) model, relying on frequency of experienced outcomes, is used as a baseline. Results revealed that both IBL and NMH models explained aggregate and individual choices better when participants followed piecewise strategy compared to the comprehensive strategy. Overall, the IBL model, calibrated to individual participants using a single set of parameters, performed better compared to the NMH model. We highlight the implications of our results for DFE research involving exploration before consequential decisions.","PeriodicalId":248656,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Machine Learning and Data Science (MLDS)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126915600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Code smells indicate problems in design or code which makes software hard to change and maintain. Detecting code smells could reduce the effort of developers, resources and cost of the software. Many researchers have proposed different techniques like DETEX for detecting code smells which have limited precision and recall. To overcome these limitations, a new technique named as SVMCSD has been proposed for the detection of code smells, based on support vector machine learning technique. Four code smells are specified namely God Class, Feature Envy, Data Class and Long Method and the proposed technique is validated on two open source systems namely ArgoUML and Xerces. The accuracy of SVMCSD is found to be better than DETEX in terms of two metrics, precision and recall, when applied on a subset of a system.

There has been research in machine-learning that aims to predict landslides based on the statistical analysis of historical landslide events and its triggering factors. However, prediction of landslides suffers from a class-imbalance problem as landslides and land-movement are very rare events. In this paper, we apply state-of-the-art techniques to correct the class imbalance in landslide datasets. More specifically, to overcome the class-imbalance problem, we use different synthetic and oversampling techniques to a real-world landslide data collected from the Chandigarh - Manali highway. Also, we apply several machine-learning algorithms to the landslide data set for predicting landslides and evaluating our algorithms. Different algorithms have been assessed using techniques like the area under the ROC curve (AUC) and sensitivity index (d'). Results suggested that random forest algorithm performed better compared to other classification techniques like neural networks, logistic regression, support vector machines, and decision trees. Furthermore, among class-imbalance methods, the Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique with iterative partitioning filter (SMOTE-IPF) performed better than other techniques.

We developed a Patient Journey Visualizer (PJV) tool that can help in visualizing patient journeys via Parallel Coordinates, Sankey, and Sunburst charts. Parallel Coordinates assists in visualizing multivariate data concerning patient journeys in PJV at the individual level. Sankey charts help in visualizing the aggregate flow of patients between various phases of patient journeys in PJV. Sunburst charts represent hierarchical relationships between diagnoses, procedures, and prescription medications in PJV. Different visualization charts in PJV were compared across increasing number of data points.
