The Nature of Statistical Learning Theory

by Vladimir N. Vapnik , 1999
"... Statistical learning theory was introduced in the late 1960’s. Until the 1990’s it was a purely theoretical analysis of the problem of function estimation from a given collection of data. In the middle of the 1990’s new types of learning algorithms (called support vector machines) based on the deve ..."

on the developed theory were proposed. This made statistical learning theory not only a tool for the theoretical analysis but also a tool for creating practical algorithms for estimating multidimensional functions. This article presents a very general overview of statistical learning theory including both

Case-based reasoning; Foundational issues, methodological variations, and system approaches

by Agnar Aamodt, Enric Plaza - AI COMMUNICATIONS , 1994
"... Case-based reasoning is a recent approach to problem solving and learning that has got a lot of attention over the last few years. Originating in the US, the basic idea and underlying theories have spread to other continents, and we are now within a period of highly active research in case-based rea ..."

-based reasoning in Europe, as well. This paper gives an overview of the foundational issues related to case- based reasoning, describes some of the leading methodo- logical approaches within the field, and exemplifies the current state through pointers to some systems. Initially, a general framework is defined

Intelligence without reason

by Rodney A. Brooks , 1991
"... Computers and Thought are the two categories that together define Artificial Intelligence as a discipline. It is generally accepted that work in Artificial Intelligence over the last thirty years has had a strong influence on aspects of computer architectures. In this paper we also make the converse ..."

On the acceptability of arguments and its fundamental role in nonmonotonic reasoning, logic programming and n-person games

by Phan Minh Dung - Artificial Intelligence , 1995
"... The purpose of this paper is to study the fundamental mechanism humans use in argumentation and its role in different major approaches to commonsense reasoning in AI and logic programming. We present three novel results: We develop a theory for argumentation in which the acceptability of arguments i ..."

Nonmonotonic Reasoning, Preferential Models and Cumulative Logics

by Sarit Kraus, Daniel Lehmann, Menachem Magidor , 1990
"... Many systems that exhibit nonmonotonic behavior have been described and studied already in the literature. The general notion of nonmonotonic reasoning, though, has almost always been described only negatively, by the property it does not enjoy, i.e. monotonicity. We study here general patterns of ..."

Multipoint quantitative-trait linkage analysis in general pedigrees

by Laura Almasy, John Blangero - Am. J. Hum. Genet , 1998
"... Multipoint linkage analysis of quantitative-trait loci (QTLs) has previously been restricted to sibships and small pedigrees. In this article, we show how variance-component linkage methods can be used in pedigrees of arbitrary size and complexity, and we develop a general framework for multipoint i ..."

identity-by-descent (IBD) probability calculations. We extend the sib-pair multi-point mapping approach of Fulker et al. to general rel-ative pairs. This multipoint IBD method uses the pro-portion of alleles shared identical by descent at genotyped loci to estimate IBD sharing at arbitrary points along a

Extensional versus intuitive reasoning: The conjunction fallacy in probability judgment

by Amos Tversky, Daniel Kahneman - Psychological Review , 1983
"... Perhaps the simplest and the most basic qualitative law of probability is the conjunction rule: The probability of a conjunction, P(A&B), cannot exceed the probabilities of its constituents, P(A) and.P(B), because the extension (or the possibility set) of the conjunction is included in the exten ..."

A generalized processor sharing approach to flow control in integrated services networks: The single-node case

by Abhay K. Parekh, Robert G. Gallager - IEEE/ACM TRANSACTIONS ON NETWORKING , 1993
"... The problem of allocating network resources to the users of an integrated services network is investigated in the context of rate-based flow control. The network is assumed to be a virtual circuit, connection-based packet network. We show that the use of Generalized processor Sharing (GPS), when co ..."

Option Pricing: A Simplified Approach

by John C. Cox, Stephen A. Ross, Mark Rubinstein - Journal of Financial Economics , 1979
"... This paper presents a simple discrete-time model for valumg optlons. The fundamental econonuc principles of option pricing by arbitrage methods are particularly clear In this setting. Its development requires only elementary mathematics, yet it contains as a special limiting case the celebrated Blac ..."

Black-&holes model, which has previously been derived only by much more difficult methods. The basic model readily lends itself to generalization in many ways. Moreover, by its very constructlon, it gives rise to a simple and efficient numerical procedure for valumg optlons for which premature
