Towards an Informative Recommender System
… from available data. This dissertation explores informative learning—a paradigm that enhances recommendation quality by extracting, refining, and transferring knowledge from structured and unstructured data. We introduce a series of informative learning techniques that advance market adaptation, …

Learning for informative path planning
… intensive Monte- Carlo simulations in informative path planning. This will enable us to decrease the uncertainty of the weather estimates more than current methods by enabling the evaluation of many more candidate paths given the same amount of resources. The learning method and the …

Informative sensing : theory and applications
Compressed sensing is a recent theory for the sampling and reconstruction of sparse signals. Sparse signals only occupy a tiny fraction of the entire signal space and thus have a small amount of information, relative to their dimension. The theory tells us that the information can be captured …

Ancestry Informative Markers Tailored to Hispanic Populations
… this makes an accurate panel of ancestry informative markers (AIMs) especially important for human identification. In Chapter 2, the Genomic Origins and Admixture in Latinos (GOAL) dataset containing 494,886 SNPs was used for SNP ascertainment. Utilizing a country attributable variant of …

Development of Informative Priors in Microarray Studies
… priors. We present a Perl script to build an informative prior by mining online databases for similar microarray experiments. Four prior distributions are investigated: a power prior including information from multiple previous experiments, an informative prior using information from one …

Making fast informative queries with learned propagations
In an informative querying problem, one achieves a certain objective by issuing a series of queries to an oracle and receives a series of observations in return. It is a challenging task because the queries need to account for the uncertainties of the oracle, while being informative to the …

Finding Informative Genes in Subtypes of Breast Cancer
… machine learning techniques to select the most informative biomarkers for the recently proposed ten subtypes of breast cancer. Unlike existing gene selection approaches, we use a hierarchical based classification approach that selects genes and builds the classifier concurrently in a top-down …

Mining informative sentences in multi-product documents with PLSA
In this thesis, we study the problem of fetching informative sentences from multi-product documents. A multi-product document is defined as a document that mentions about multiple products, which is often for comparison purpose. An informative sentence is defined as a sentence that provides the …

Generating informative paths for persistent sensing in unknown environments
… according to a Voronoi-based coverage task, i.e. informative paths. The problem is first treated for a single robot and then extended to multiple robots. Additionally, the controllers for both the single-robot and the multi-robot case are extended to treat the problem of generating informative …

Constructing an Informative Prior Distribution of Noises in Seasonal Adjustment
Time series data is very common in our daily life. Since they are related to time, most of them show a periodicity. The existence of this periodic in uence leads to our research problem, seasonal adjustment. Seasonal adjustment is generally applied around us, especially in areas of economy and …

Quantile Forecasting of Commodity Futures' Returns: Are Implied Volatility Factors Informative?
This study develops a multi-period log-return quantile forecasting procedure to evaluate the performance of eleven nearby commodity futures contracts (NCFC) using a sample of 897 daily price observations and at-the-money (ATM) put and call implied volatilities of the corresponding prices for the …
