[Aspuru-Guzik group list] [iic-seminars] IIC Seminar Today - Carla Brodley, Tufts University

by Helene Tingle

Initiative in Innovative Computing @ Harvard Seminar Series Wednesday, March 19, 2008; 4:00pm 60 Oxford Street, Room 330 Carla, Brodley, Professor, Department of Computer Science, Tufts University Seminar Title: Generating and Recognizing High-Quality Training Data for Supervised Machine Learning Abstract: At Tufts we are applying machine learning to mapping Earth’s land cover, using an “artificial nose” to discriminate vapors, and non- invasive glucose monitoring using an optical sensor. This talk will explore projects addressing three interesting probems that arise as we try to generate high-quality training data for these projects: active class selection, noise in the labeling process for generating training data, and when to abstain from a prediction in a part of the feature space for which little to no representative training data has been collected. Upcoming IIC Seminars: Continue to stay up to date with our IIC Seminar Schedule. Parking is available in the 52 Oxford Street Garage. Please tell the attendant that you are attending the IIC Seminar. _______________________________________________ iic-seminars mailing list iic-seminars(a)calists.harvard.edu http://calists.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/iic-seminars
