Learning to predict by the methods of temporal differences

by Richard S. Sutton - MACHINE LEARNING , 1988
"... This article introduces a class of incremental learning procedures specialized for prediction – that is, for using past experience with an incompletely known system to predict its future behavior. Whereas conventional prediction-learning methods assign credit by means of the difference between predi ..."

, they have remained poorly understood. Here we prove their convergence and optimality for special cases and relate them to supervised-learning methods. For most real-world prediction problems, temporal-difference methods require less memory and less peak computation than conventional methods and they produce

Atmospheric Modeling, Data Assimilation and Predictability

by Eugenia Kalnay , 2003
"... Numerical weather prediction (NWP) now provides major guidance in our daily weather forecast. The accuracy of NWP models has improved steadily since the first successful experiment made by Charney, Fj!rtoft and von Neuman (1950). During the past 50 years, a large number of technical papers and repor ..."

It incorporates all aspects of environmental computer modeling including an historical overview of NWP, equations of motion and their approximations, a modern description of the methods to determine the initial conditions using weather observations and a clear

The KEGG resource for deciphering the genome

by Minoru Kanehisa, Susumu Goto, Shuichi Kawashima, Yasushi Okuno, Masahiro Hattori - Nucleic Acids Res , 2004
"... A grand challenge in the post-genomic era is a complete computer representation of the cell and the organism, which will enable computational prediction of higher-level complexity of cellular processes and organism behavior from genomic information. Toward this end we have been developing a knowledg ..."

Predicting Internet Network Distance with Coordinates-Based Approaches

by T. S. Eugene Ng, Hui Zhang - In INFOCOM , 2001
"... In this paper, we propose to use coordinates-based mechanisms in a peer-to-peer architecture to predict Internet network distance (i.e. round-trip propagation and transmission delay) . We study two mechanisms. The first is a previously proposed scheme, called the triangulated heuristic, which is bas ..."

A study of branch prediction strategies

by E. Smith, Arden Hills Minnesota - In Proceedings of the 8th annual symposium on Computer Architecture
"... In high-performance computer systems. performance losses due to conditional branch instructrons can be minrmized by predicting a branch outcome and fetching, decoding, and/or issuing subsequent instructions before the actual outcome is known. This paper discusses branch prediction strategies wrth th ..."

Identification of Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Signal Peptides and Prediction of Their Cleavage Sites

by Henrik Nielsen, Jacob Engelbrecht, Søren Brunak, Gunnar von Heijne , 1997
"... We have developed a new method for identification of signal peptides and their cleavage sites based on neural networks trained on separate sets of prokaryotic and eukaryotic sequences. The method performs significantly better than previous prediction schemes, and can easily be applied on genome-wide ..."

-wide data sets. Discrimination between cleaved signal peptides and uncleaved N-terminal signal-anchor sequences is also possible, thoughwith lower precision. Predictions can be made on a publicly available WWW server. Present address: Novo Nordisk A/S, Scientific Computing, Building 9M1, Novo Alle, DK

Fast Folding and Comparison of RNA Secondary Structures (The Vienna RNA Package)

by Ivo L. Hofacker, Walter Fontana, Peter F. Stadler, L. Sebastian Bonhoeffer, Manfred Tacker, Peter Schuster
"... Computer codes for computation and comparison of RNA secondary structures, the Vienna RNA package, are presented, that are based on dynamic programming algorithms and aim at predictions of structures with minimum free energies as well as at computations of the equilibrium partition functions and bas ..."

Linguistic Complexity: Locality of Syntactic Dependencies

by Edward Gibson - COGNITION , 1998
"... This paper proposes a new theory of the relationship between the sentence processing mechanism and the available computational resources. This theory -- the Syntactic Prediction Locality Theory (SPLT) -- has two components: an integration cost component and a component for the memory cost associa ..."

Diagnosing multiple faults.

by Johan De Kleer , Brian C Williams - Artificial Intelligence, , 1987
"... Abstract Diagnostic tasks require determining the differences between a model of an artifact and the artifact itself. The differences between the manifested behavior of the artifact and the predicted behavior of the model guide the search for the differences between the artifact and its model. The ..."
