Learning Pattern Languages from a Small Number of Helpfully Chosen Examples
… each learning model. More- over, determining the number of data points (sample complexity) and the amount of computational time (time complexity) required for learning a particular class of languages in a particular model is a main goal in computational learning theory. In this thesis we focus on …

Optimization of the glass fiber forming process for single-tip and small-number-tip positions
… forming process. To facilitate this research, a smaller and simpler version of the full-scale fiber forming process is being used. This system has vastly different geometry and produces a small number of fibers. Work in this project has concerned optimization of the small-scale process to more …

ILLUMINATION RECOVERY FROM IMAGES WITH CAST SHADOWS
… of low frequency spherical harmonics, and a small number of directional sources. Therefore, the illumination of the scene can be recovered by summing the spherical harmonic lighting and a small number of directional light sources. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, we …

An isotope study of the felsic units of the Bushveld Large Igneous Province, South Africa
… ~ 2059 Ma Bushveld granites and granophyres. A small number of Rooiberg Group felsites were also studied.

Bayesian and Information-Theoretic Learning of High Dimensional Data
… in multiple ways. In the Bayesian Elastic Net, a small number of correlated features are identified for the response variable. In the sparse Factor Analysis for biomarker trajectories, the high dimensional gene expression data is reduced to a small number of latent factors, each with a …

Exploiting biological pathways to infer temporal gene interaction models
… problem is not tractable because of the large number of genes, the small number of experimental observations for each gene, and the complexity of biological networks. We focus instead on the B cell receptor (BCR) signaling pathway, which narrows the inference problem and provides a clinical …

Testing a simple symmetric hypothesis by a finite-memory deterministic algorithm
… Optimiim algorithms are found for a small number of states (up to 21) and an asymptotic bound on error probability is obtained for a large number of states. The algorithms provide their own stopping rule.

Random Forests Based Rule Learning And Feature Elimination
… forests. This approach simultaneously extracts a small number of rules generated by random forests and selects important features. To evaluate this approach, we have applied it to several drug activity prediction data sets, microarray data sets, a seacoast chemical sensors data set, a Stockori …

Characterizing MIT's serial scientist-entrepreneurs in life sciences
… by others to be concentrated among a relatively small number of elite academic institutions. However, within these institutions, we find that a small number of prestigious scientists are disproportionately responsible for entrepreneurial and commercial activity. To date, limited research has been …

GENERIC FRAMEWORKS FOR INTERACTIVE PERSONALIZED INTERESTING PATTERN DISCOVERY
… algorithms generate an exponentially large number of patterns of which a substantial portion are not much significant for many data analysis endeavours. Due to this, the discovery of a small number of interesting patterns from the exponentially large number of frequent patterns according to …

Home School Students and the IHSA: An Analysis of Current Suburban Chicago High School *Policy
Survey results indicate that currently a small number of home school students are seeking participation in IHSA programs. No full-time home school students were identified that are involved in athletics. In summary, the adoption of by-law 3.011 has had no effect on the participation levels of …

Power approximation for the test of study-level categorical moderators in meta-regression with dependent effect sizes
… of a test of multiple contrasts corrected for small samples from a CHE+RVE model. The results from my study show that the power approximation formula is accurate when there is a small number of contrasts, but it could be inaccurate in conditions with a larger number of contrasts and small …

Impacts of vehicle automation on traffic flow stability
… is motivated by the possibility of a small number of autonomous vehicles (AVs) or partially autonomous vehicles that may soon be present on our roadways. This automation may take the form of fully autonomous vehicles without human intervention (Society of Automotive Engineers, SAE …

The realization of telecommunications in high school science classrooms: An evaluation of teachers using technology
… Many of these studies describe only a small number of our nation's teachers and classrooms. These studies have not looked at the impact technology has on teachers and students and have not addressed the issue of expanding the use of technology to more classrooms in a school district, …

Origami tomography
… to folded origami. In contrast to the large number of projections usually necessary in traditional tomographic imaging, information is extracted directly from a small number of Radon projections. Furthermore, piecewise linear chains are shown to be fully characterized from just two sampled …

Hydrologic Process Parameterization of Electrical Resistivity Imaging of Solute Plumes Using POD MCMC
… space, thereby enabling the estimation of a small number of inversion parameters while incorporating knowledge of the physics of the target process. First, we generate training images (TIs) from Monte Carlo simulation of the hydrologic process of interest. We then used proper orthogonal …

Method of biological assay of Gastrin and its application to the study of human tissue
The relatively small number of cases in this series, aggravated by the need for further division into subgroups, makes interpretation difficult. The situation is made worse by a number of factors as yet unknown, e.g., the effect of anaesthesia and duration of operation on the gastrin content, the …
