The CMAS model is enriched by a role-based model representing search (e.g. hill-climbing, genetic algorithms) in general search space. The choice of solution representation is important for successful and quick finding of the optimal solution. We apply the search model to optimization in the parameter space of data mining methods and employ it in a meta-learning scenario.","PeriodicalId":439926,"journal":{"name":"2011 10th International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications and Workshops","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132669723","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}

Such meaningful and significant information helps organizations to establish their future policies on a sounder basis, and to gain major advantages in terms of time and cost.

In this work we present a novel approach to non-linear dimensionality reduction. It is based on fitting K-nearest neighbor regression to the unsupervised regression framework for learning of low-dimensional manifolds. Similar to related approaches that are mostly based on kernel methods, unsupervised K-nearest neighbor (UNN) regression optimizes latent variables w.r.t. the data space reconstruction error employing the K-nearest neighbor heuristic. The problem of optimizing latent neighborhoods is difficult to solve, but the UNN formulation allows the design of efficient strategies that iteratively embed latent points to fixed neighborhood topologies. UNN is well appropriate for sorting of high-dimensional data. The iterative variants are analyzed experimentally.","PeriodicalId":439926,"journal":{"name":"2011 10th International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications and Workshops","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128395392","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}

This is carried out based on the prediction errors in the output sections, and the most probable task is selected from the output section with a minimum error. Through the computer simulations using the ORL face dataset, we show that the extended RAN-MTPR works well as a multitask learning model.","PeriodicalId":439926,"journal":{"name":"2011 10th International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications and Workshops","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128545688","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, a new hybrid method iterative Extended Changing Crossover Operators (i-ECXO) combining Edge Assembly Crossover (EAX) and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is proposed to solve the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). In EAX, parent A's edge EA is exchanged for parent B's edge EB finally to generate new off spring, where EA and EB alternate in forming so-called A-B cycles. ACO simulates swarm intelligence in ants' feeding behavior. In ACO, ants tend to create various kinds of cyclic paths with different sequences of visiting cities in early stage of generations. In this paper, the diversity of generations is strictly measured by the entropy H in Thermo Dynamical Genetic Algorithm (TDGA). With the measure H, the validity of i-ECXO is experimentally verified by using medium sized TSP data.","PeriodicalId":439926,"journal":{"name":"2011 10th International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications and Workshops","volume":"121 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122132943","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}

Our method needs only a small number of memories and parameters for searching the solution in the space.

In 2008 the US FDA issued a Guidance to Industry statement, recognizing the conjoined nature of CVD and T2D and emphasizing the need to monitor cardiovascular risk during new diabetic drug trials. This led researchers to work towards identifying panels of markers that are able to distinguish subtypes of CVD in the context of T2D. Immunoassays are used to detect and quantify biomolecules in a solution. Mass spectrometric immunoassay analysis of various proteins in the blood serum of 212 subjects belonging to multiple disease groups resulted in the identification of 41 molecular species as potential biomarkers. In this paper, support vector machines are used to measure the effectiveness of using these species as a diagnosis tool. We suggest an any-vs-rest SVM multiclass classification method by dividing the problem into a series of binary SVM classification problems and using a MAP decision rule to predict the correct class. One-vs-rest and discriminant analysis approaches are also evaluated for comparison.","PeriodicalId":439926,"journal":{"name":"2011 10th International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications and Workshops","volume":"05 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127433626","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}
