Trial and Error : medical marijuana, the absence of evidence, and the allure of anecdote
… medical cannabis. But in the wake of antiquated and inflexible federal legislation, anecdotal reports like these are essentially all we have. More than half the states in the U.S. have voted to legalize medical marijuana, as thousands contend it's a viable treatment for a growing list of …

Analysis of a Multi-Aquifer System in the Southern Coastal Plain of Virginia by Trial and Error Model Calibration to Observed Land Subsidence
… as a result of the combination of sea-level rise and land subsidence associated with aquifer compaction from excessive groundwater pumping. Detailed time-series of cumulative compaction data (land subsidence) from the three U.S. Geological Survey deployed extensometers in the regions, along with …

Algorithms and circuits for motor control and learning in the songbird
… teeth, we learn many of our motor skills through trial and error. Many biologically based trial and error learning models depend on a teaching signal from dopamine neurons. Dopamine neurons increase their firing rates to signal outcomes that are better than expected and decrease their firing rates …

Visual Transfer Learning for Robotic Manipulation
… learn from robot-environment interactions (e.g., trial and error) have emerged as a promising approach for autonomously acquiring complex skills for manipulation. For data-driven methods, the ability to do more with less data is incredibly important, since data collection through physical …

Spectral Matching of Musical Instrument Tones
… computer music: finding parameters for wavetable and frequency modulation (FM) synthesis that reproduce a particular tone. Previous FM and wavetable matching methods have used trial-and-error or computationally expensive techniques in matching sounds.

Automating Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy Treatment Planning by using Hierarchical Optimization
… the IMRT treatment planning is still a trial and error process. Hierarchical optimization was proposed to automate the treatment planning process, but its potential has not been demonstrated in a clinical setting. Moreover, hierarchical optimization is slower than the traditional …

HalideTuner : generating and tuning halide schedules with Opentuner
… of possible schedules is staggeringly large, and there is no deterministic way to find the fastest schedules. This leads to a lot of man-hours spent trying to find good Halide schedules. As Halide grows in popularity and the platforms on which it runs diversify, the need for Halide schedules …

"""I'm Learning as I Go, and I Don't Like That"": Urban Community College Students' College Literacy"
… after they had been away from formal education, and their understanding of college continued to unfold, often through frustrating trial and error experiences. Understanding the college literacy students bring to community college and their experiences developing enhanced college literacy while in …

Self-adaptive evolution of model structures and parameters / by Jason John Bobbin.
… framework SASME. SASME is described generally and then applied to the specific task of evolving rule sets with explicit default hierarchies for learning problems. Experiments are conducted on the SASME framework to establish the efficiency of the self-adaptive mutation scheme when compared to …

Variability in Singing and in Song in the Zebra Finch
… oscine song learning process, reflected in song and in the neural pathways involved in song learning. For the zebra finch, juveniles learning to sing typically exhibit a high degree of vocal variability, and this variability appears to be driven by a key brain nucleus. It has been suggested that …

Exploring Low Brass Recording Techniques
<p>The modern day art and science of music recording evolved through a constant process of trial and error. Although many of these techniques are well-documented and commonplace in modern recording studios, most of them are generalized recording techniques used in the popular and classical music …

Learning to Ground Multi-Agent Communication with Autoencoders
… agents, but this may require many generations of trial and error. Alternatively, the lingua franca can be given by the environment, where agents ground their language in representations of the observed world. We demonstrate a simple way to ground language in learned representations, which …
