A Survey on Transfer Learning

by Sinno Jialin Pan, Qiang Yang
"... A major assumption in many machine learning and data mining algorithms is that the training and future data must be in the same feature space and have the same distribution. However, in many real-world applications, this assumption may not hold. For example, we sometimes have a classification task i ..."

in one domain of interest, but we only have sufficient training data in another domain of interest, where the latter data may be in a different feature space or follow a different data distribution. In such cases, knowledge transfer, if done successfully, would greatly improve the performance of learning

WinBUGS -- a Bayesian modelling framework: concepts, structure, and extensibility

by David J. Lunn, Andrew Thomas, Nicky Best, David Spiegelhalter - STATISTICS AND COMPUTING , 2000
"... WinBUGS is a fully extensible modular framework for constructing and analysing Bayesian full probability models. Models may be specified either textually via the BUGS language or pictorially using a graphical interface called DoodleBUGS. WinBUGS processes the model specification and constructs an ob ..."

level by incorporating new object types that may be used by WinBUGS without knowledge of the modules in which they are implemented. Neither of these types of extension require access to, or even recompilation of, the WinBUGS source-code.

Applications of Error-Control Coding

by Daniel J. Costello, Jr., Joachim Hagenauer, Hideki Imai, Stephen B. Wicker , 1998
"... An overview of the many practical applications of channel coding theory in the past 50 years is presented. The following application areas are included: deep space communication, satellite communication, data transmission, data storage, mobile communication, file transfer, and digital audio/video t ..."

Coding for errors and erasures in random network coding

by Ralf Koetter, Frank R. Kschischang , 2007
"... The problem of error-control in random network coding is considered. A “noncoherent” or “channel oblivious ” model is assumed where neither transmitter nor receiver is assumed to have knowledge of the channel transfer characteristic. Motivated by the property that random network coding is vector-spa ..."

Expectations, Outcomes, and Challenges Of Modern Code Review

by Alberto Bacchelli, Christian Bird
"... Abstract—Code review is a common software engineering practice employed both in open source and industrial contexts. Review today is less formal and more "lightweight " than the code inspections performed and studied in the 70s and 80s. We empirically explore the motivations, challenges, a ..."

expected and instead provide additional benefits such as knowledge transfer, increased team awareness, and creation of alternative solutions to problems. Moreover, we find that code and change understanding is the key aspect of code reviewing and that developers employ a wide range of mechanisms to meet

Using Orientation Information for Qualitative Spatial Reasoning

by Christian Freksa - THEORIES AND METHODS OF SPATIOTEMPORAL REASONING IN GEOGRAPHIC SPACE, LNCS 639, SPRINGER-VERLAG , 1992
"... A new approach to representing qualitative spatial knowledge and to spatial reasoning is presented. This approach is motivated by cognitive considerations and is based on relative orientation information about spatial environments. The approach aims at exploiting properties of physical space which s ..."

to qualitative spatial reasoning are briefly reviewed. Differences between the temporal and the spatial domain are outlined. A way of transferring a qualitative temporal reasoning method to the spatial domain is proposed. The resulting neighborhood-oriented representation and reasoning approach is presented

Toward an integrative theory of training motivation: A meta-analytic path analysis of 20 years of research

by Jason A. Colquitt, Jeffrey A. Lepine, Raymond A. Noe - Journal of Applied Psychology , 2000
"... This article meta-analytically summarizes the literature on training motivation, its antecedents, and its relationships with training outcomes such as declarative knowledge, skill acquisition, and transfer. Significant predictors of training motivation and outcomes included individual characteristic ..."

Situated learning and education

by John R. Anderson, Lynne M. Reder, Herbert A. Simon - Educational Researcher , 1996
"... This paper provides a reviezo of the claims of situated learning that are having an increasing influence on education generally and mathematics education particularly. We review the four central claims of situated learning with respect to education: (1) action is grounded in the concrete situation i ..."

in which it occurs; (2) knowledge does not transfer between tasks; (3) training by abstraction is of little use; and (4) instruction must be done in complex, social environments. In each case, we cite empirical literature to show that the claims are overstated and that some of the educational implications

The Somatic Marker Hypothesis: A Neural Theory of Economic Decision’,

by Antoine Bechara , Antonio R Damasio - Games and Economic Behavior, , 2005
"... Abstract Modern economic theory ignores the influence of emotions on decision-making. Emerging neuroscience evidence suggests that sound and rational decision making, in fact, depends on prior accurate emotional processing. The somatic marker hypothesis provides a systems-level neuroanatomical and ..."

Space–time transmit precoding with imperfect channel feedback

by Upamanyu Madhow, Senior Member - IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory , 2001
"... Abstract—The use of channel feedback from receiver to transmitter is standard in wireline communications. While knowledge of the channel at the transmitter would produce similar benefits for wireless communications as well, the generation of reliable channel feedback is complicated by the rapid time ..."
