Plausible Inference: A Knowledge-Intensive Approach to Induction (An Application of PI to the Problem of Hidden Homology Modeling)
… information. (2) It accepts local bias information on a domain-term by domain-term basis. (3) It allows the user to fashion a task-specific learning system by composing algorithms from a library of learning algorithms, and (4) it allows the user to make efficient use of the …

A Structure-based Machine Learning Approach for Spatiotemporal Fluctuations in Nuclear Thermal Fluids
… by performing proper orthogonal decomposition on local parameters, and then a tree-based machine learning model is used to down-select the reference structures for the field reconstruction. In the second level, a parameterized convolution neural network is trained to predict the bias introduced by …

New approaches to modern statistical classification problems
… a better balance in terms of the asymptotic local bias-variance trade-off. We also demonstrate the improvement in terms of finite-sample performance of the tail adaptive classifier over the standard classifier via a simulation study.
