Sensor data has been playing an important role in machine learning tasks, complementary to the human-annotated data that is usually rather costly. However, due to systematic or accidental mis-operations, sensor data comes very often with a variety of missing values, resulting in considerable difficulties in the follow-…

The influence of additional information on the decision making of agents, who are interacting members of a society, is analyzed within the mathematical framework based on the use of quantum probabilities. The introduction of social interactions, which influence the decisions of individual agents, leads to a generalizat…

RCAM-based ensemble combines binary classifiers using similarity and vote scheme.

problem Improving binary classification accuracy through ensemble methods.
method RCAM-based ensemble combining classifiers using similarity and recurrent consult-vote scheme.
result RCAM-based ensemble outperforms individual classifiers and majority voting.

Autoregressive models struggle with hard-to-compute distributions, alternatives like energy-based and latent-variable models solve this.

problem Autoregressive models struggle with distributions whose next-symbol probability is hard to compute.
method Alternatives include energy-based models and latent-variable autoregressive models.
result Alternatives to autoregressive models can escape limitations of hard-to-compute distributions.

The consultative papers for the Basel II Accord require rating systems to provide a ranking of obligors in the sense that the rating categories indicate the creditworthiness in terms of default probabilities. As a consequence, the default probabilities ought to present a monotonous function of the ordered rating catego…

The professional services sector is at a turning point, with some industries showing growth opportunities.

problem Identifying growth opportunities in the professional services sector after decades of growth.
method A simple framework applied to the US economic context to diagnose growth opportunities.
result The professional services sector is expected to stall at a national level, but some industries still offer growth opportunities.

The paper presents a machine learning approach to multidimensional item response theory.

problem Modeling and predicting student performance from assessment data.
method Inspired by collaborative filtering, the paper defines a general class of models using penalized joint maximum likelihood (JML) for estimation and cross-validation for model selection.
result The high-dimensional model fit to large and sparse data does not lend itself well to traditional factor interpretation.

Compared to in-clinic balance training, in-home training is not as effective. This is, in part, due to the lack of feedback from physical therapists (PTs). Here, we analyze the feasibility of using trunk sway data and machine learning (ML) techniques to automatically evaluate balance, providing accurate assessments out…

Out-of-control information technology (IT) projects have ended the careers of top managers, such as EADS CEO Noel Forgeard and Levi Strauss' CIO David Bergen. Moreover, IT projects have brought down whole companies, like Kmart in the US and Auto Windscreen in the UK. Software and other IT is now such an integral part o…
