Description :
In general, modeling is a complex and creative task, and building qualitative models is no exception. One way of automating this task is by means of machine learning. Observed behaviors of a modeled system are used as examples for a learning algorithm that constructs a model that is consistent with ...
Description :
The usual numerical learning methods, that are primarily concerned with finding a good numerical fit to the data, often make predictions that do not correspond to the qualitative mechanisms in the domain of modelling or a domain expert's intuition. Consistency of numerical predictions with a given q...

Description :
Attribute interactions are the irreducible dependencies between attributes. Interactions underlie feature relevance and selection, the structure of joint probability and classification models: if and only if the attributes interact, they should be connected. While the issue of 2-way interactions, es...

Description :
Many effective and efficient learning algorithms assume independence of attributes. They often perform well even in domains where this assumption is not really true. However, they may fail badly when the degree of attribute dependencies becomes critical. In this paper, we examine methods for detecti...

Description :
Usual numerical learning methods are primarily concerned with finding a good numerical fit to data and often make predictions that do not correspond to qualitative laws in the domain of modelling or expert intuition. In contrast, the idea of $Q^2$ learning is to induce qualitative constraints from t...

Description :
Interactions are patterns between several attributes in data that cannot
be inferred from any subset of these attributes. While mutual information
is a well-established approach to evaluating the interactions between two
attributes, we surveyed its generalizations as to quantify interactions
between...

Description :
We propose a simple family of classification models, based on the Kikuchi approximation to free energy. We note that the resulting product of potentials is not normalized, but for classification it is easy to perform the normalization for each instance separately. We propose a learning method based ...

Description :
We report on new experiments with machine learning in the reconstruction of human sub-cognitive skill. The particular problem considered is to generate a clone of a human pilot performing a flying task on a simulated aircraft. The work presented here uses the human behaviour to create constraints fo...
