Notes 20110405 CIS 6050 Neural Networks -- Talks

From SnOwy - Ed's Wiki Notebook

List of talks

• Sunny - Neural Networks for Credit Prediction
  • decision support; decide whether a client applying for a line of credit is worthy of a loan
  • Australian Credit Approval (Quinlan, UCI Repository)
• Lin - chemical component, grading of tobacco
  • decision support; tobacco grading based on chemical constituents such as ...
  • sugar (total, reducing), nicotine, protein, total nitrogen, potassium, sodium
• Hlomani - Abalone Age Determination
  • decision support; decide how old an abalone is based on some physical measurements
  • eight seven features for prediction ((infant, female, male), length, diameter, height, whole weight, shucked weight, viscera weight, shell weight, rings), ninth feature is age -- UCI Machine Learning Repository
• Inverse Neural Control Systems / Robot Control (Plant Model)
  • controller system; given a reference plant conditions, a neural network replaces a human operator
  • reference signal is meant to represent normal conditions of the plant -- we change the neural network in order to approach the reference signals
• Tom - examining Flicker's interestingness algorithm
  • reverse engineering artificial intelligence; decide which photos are considered interesting, emulate Flicker's algorithm
  • number of groups, number of tags, number of comments; regress which of these features increase interestingness
