However, a practising engineer often requires the solution to an \"inverse problem\" - prediction of inputs for the desired outcome. The inverse problem is usually solved by constrained optimisation. Extensive simulation during optimisation is avoided through response surfaces constructed from simulations. But the design space is often so large that even with response surfaces, optimisation might not be possible. Moreover, these problems are typically ill-posed, so discriminative models such as artificial neural networks do not work well. In this paper, we investigate the application of conditional linear Gaussian Bayesian networks to address the inverse problem with multi-pass wire drawing process as a case study. We propose an approach to systematically find all solutions and rank them according to their likelihood.","PeriodicalId":6636,"journal":{"name":"2017 16th IEEE International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications (ICMLA)","volume":"13 1","pages":"626-631"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87171854","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}

Here we measure bias in a given sentence or article as the word vector similarity with a corpus of biased words. We compute the word vector similarity of each of the sentences with the words taken from a Wikipedia Neutral Point of View (NPOV) corpus, measured using the word2vec tool, where our model is trained using Wikipedia articles. We then compute the bias score, which indicates how much that article uses biased words. This is implemented as a web browser extension, which queries an online server running our bias detection algorithm. Finally, we validate the accuracy of our bias detection by comparing bias rankings of a variety of articles from various sources. We get lower bias scores for Wikipedia articles than for news articles, which is lower than that for opinion articles.","PeriodicalId":6636,"journal":{"name":"2017 16th IEEE International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications (ICMLA)","volume":"4 1","pages":"785-788"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86737172","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}

A majority of the publicly available code clone corpora are incomplete in nature and lack labeled samples for semantic or Type-IV clones. We present here two schemes for labeling all types of clones including Type-IV clones. We restrict our study to Java code only. First, we use an unsupervised approach to label Type-IV clones and validate them using expert Java programmers. Next, we present a supervised scheme for labeling (or classifying) unknown samples based on labeled samples derived from our first scheme. We evaluate the performance of our schemes using six well-known Java code clone corpora and report on the quality of produced clones in terms of kappa agreement, mean error and accuracy scores. Results show that both schemes produce high quality code clones facilitating future use of machine learning in detecting clones of Type-IV.","PeriodicalId":6636,"journal":{"name":"2017 16th IEEE International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications (ICMLA)","volume":"76 1","pages":"981-985"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85474697","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 can be solved by using active learning strategies, which can be non-personalized or personalized, and which were evaluated and tested previously using different datasets and metrics. In this paper, we present a clearer study by implementing the main non-personalized single-heuristic strategies (random, popularity, co—coverage, variance, entropy, entropy0) on the same dataset, and by evaluating them using the same metrics, in order to have a better comparison. We use the public MovieLens dataset in the experimentations and the results show that the random strategy performs the worst, whereas the entropy0 leads to the best results. All strategies except the random strategy lead to very close results at a certain point, where ratings for almost the same items will have been elicited.","PeriodicalId":6636,"journal":{"name":"2017 16th IEEE International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications (ICMLA)","volume":"3 1","pages":"593-600"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89702996","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}

Reducing the regression test effort of safety-critical black box systems is a safety-critical task as system failures would remain undetected if corresponding failing test cases are not executed. The uncertainty of potentially undetected system failures persists due to the lack of implementation knowledge of black-box systems. We refer to executing test cases as a costly labeling process due to required special test equipment and testing time. However, we model a binary classifier for selecting test cases. Accordingly, only fault revealing test cases should be selected and thus executed in order to reduce the overall cost of the regression test effort. On the one side, the classifier's specificity has to be maximized. On the other side, the classifier's sensitivity has to meet a specific quality-level since the number of undetected system failures should be limited. We will show in an industrial case study the benefits of our classifier where we reduce the regression test effort of safety-critical systems. The experimental results indicate that our implemented classifier outperforms other machine learning approaches in terms of sensitivity.","PeriodicalId":6636,"journal":{"name":"2017 16th IEEE International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications (ICMLA)","volume":"116 1","pages":"914-919"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75998379","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}

Instantaneous and coherency attributes were used in a supervised followed by an unsupervised classification resulting in an error envelope of the interpretation. In an initial approximation, confidence weights for a signal and background response are estimated using support vector machine learning. Subsequently, a weighted discrimination based on several coherency attributes using self-organizing maps is obtained. The resulting quantization is used as additional input and constraint in a final probability assessment of signal confidence using instantaneous attributes in support vector machine learning. The additional input in the form of quantization vectors and possible reduction in dimensionality of the input attribute vector space, allows to combine highly non-linear correlations in a multivariate discrimination. The trained classification is used to assign signal confidence probabilities to an interpreted seismic horizon. The proposed methodology is applied to an onshore data set from Wyoming, USA, revealing how single- and multi-trace attributes can be used to quantitatively assess the uncertainty of an interpretation often lost during project maturation.","PeriodicalId":6636,"journal":{"name":"2017 16th IEEE International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications (ICMLA)","volume":"11 1","pages":"55-60"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90728593","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}
