Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "Standard ML (SML) is a strongly typed, polymorphic functional programming language. The language has been influential in the design of type systems and programming languages in general. Several professional implementations of the language are available, as well as introductory books. The language is general purpose, supporting both applicative and imperative programming, and is yet reasonably simple. This makes SML interesting from an educational point of view. This paper is a critical analysis of SML. The concepts discussed are concrete data types and pattern matching, polymorphism and higher order functions, imperative programming, and type inference. It is an attempt to clarify the problems students of functional programming will meet, as well as the insights they might gain. A short discussion of functional programming in higher education is included."

Download or read book An Interpretation of Standard ML in Type Theory written by Robert Harper and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "We define an interpretation of Standard ML into type theory. The interpretation takes the form of a set of elaboration rules reminiscent of the static semantics given in The Definition of Standard ML. In particular, the elaboration rules are given in a relational style, exploiting indeterminacy to avoid over-commitment to specific implementation techniques. Elaboration consists of identifier scope resolution, type checking and type inference, expansion of derived forms, pattern compilations, overloading resolution, equality compilation, and the coercive aspects of signature matching. The underlying type theory is an explicitly-typed [lambda]-calculus with product, sum, function, and recursive types, together with module types derived from the translucent sum formalism of Harper and Lillibridge. Programs of the type theory are given a type-passing dynamic semantics compatible with constructs such as polymorphic equality that rely on type analysis at run-time. This document supercedes the previous CMU CS technical reports CMU-CS-96-136 and CMU-CS- 96-136R. The revision reflects our experience in implementing the specified elaborator, and includes several essential corrections and simplifications to the presentation."

Download or read book Interpretable Machine Learning written by Christoph Molnar and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2020 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about making machine learning models and their decisions interpretable. After exploring the concepts of interpretability, you will learn about simple, interpretable models such as decision trees, decision rules and linear regression. Later chapters focus on general model-agnostic methods for interpreting black box models like feature importance and accumulated local effects and explaining individual predictions with Shapley values and LIME. All interpretation methods are explained in depth and discussed critically. How do they work under the hood? What are their strengths and weaknesses? How can their outputs be interpreted? This book will enable you to select and correctly apply the interpretation method that is most suitable for your machine learning project.

Download or read book Elements of ML Programming written by Jeffrey D. Ullman and published by Pearson. This book was released on 1998-01 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This highly accessible introduction to the fundamentals of ML is presented by computer science educator and author, Jeffrey D. Ullman. The primary change in the Second Edition is that it has been thoroughly revised and reorganized to conform to the new language standard called ML97. This is the first book that offers both an accurate step-by-step tutorial to ML programming and a comprehensive reference to advanced features. It is the only book that focuses on the popular SML/NJ implementation. The material is arranged for use in sophomore through graduate level classes or for self-study. This text assumes no previous knowledge of ML or functional programming, and can be used to teach ML as a first programming language. It is also an excellent supplement or reference for programming language concepts, functional programming, or compiler courses.

Download or read book Partial Evaluation of Standard ML written by Lars Birkedal and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "This thesis describes offline partial evaluation of the core of Standard ML, a large typed functional language. Unlike previous partial evaluators for larger languages (like for instance Similix for a subset of Scheme or C-Mix for a subset of C) we have chosen not do to [sic] the partial evaluation directly, but to use an untraditional method which we call the cogen approach to transform a program into its generating extension. We show in this thesis that this approach is in many aspects superior to the traditional approach and that it eliminates the need for self-applying the specializer. We develop a binding-time analysis based on non-standard type inference and produce a very efficient implementation of it using constraints. While this has been done before, we have for the first time succeeded in using the typedness of the source language to make the analysis simple and therefore more trustworthy. To our best knowledge this thesis also describes the first successful strategy for partially evaluating complicated patterns with variable bindings. Earlier attempts have either been for a much simpler class of patterns or have stranded on the need/wish for self-application of the specializer. Note that partially evaluating complicated patterns is different from partially evaluating programs dealing with complicated patterns; that has been done successfully. A complete system for partial evaluation of Standard ML with parsing, type checking, binding-time analysis, compiler generation, and pretty printing has been implemented and we report on some experiments with this system. We have not implemented everything described in the thesis, though. Details can be found in Chapter 6."

Download or read book The Standard ML Basis Library written by Emden R. Gansner and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-04-05 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides a description of the Standard ML (SML) Basis Library, the standard library for the SML language. For programmers using SML, it provides a complete description of the modules, types and functions composing the library, which is supported by all conforming implementations of the language. The book serves as a programmer's reference, providing manual pages with concise descriptions. In addition, it presents the principles and rationales used in designing the library, and relates these to idioms and examples for using the library. A particular emphasis of the library is to encourage the use of SML in serious system programming. Major features of the library include I/O, a large collection of primitive types, support for internationalization, and a portable operating system interface. This manual will be an indispensable reference for students, professional programmers, and language designers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "Standard ML is an excellent language for many kinds of programming. It is safe, efficient, suitably abstract, and concise. There are many aspects of the language that work well. However, nothing is perfect: Standard ML has a few shortcomings. In some cases there are obvious solutions, and in other cases further research is required."

Download or read book Finding What Works in Health Care written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-07-20 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Healthcare decision makers in search of reliable information that compares health interventions increasingly turn to systematic reviews for the best summary of the evidence. Systematic reviews identify, select, assess, and synthesize the findings of similar but separate studies, and can help clarify what is known and not known about the potential benefits and harms of drugs, devices, and other healthcare services. Systematic reviews can be helpful for clinicians who want to integrate research findings into their daily practices, for patients to make well-informed choices about their own care, for professional medical societies and other organizations that develop clinical practice guidelines. Too often systematic reviews are of uncertain or poor quality. There are no universally accepted standards for developing systematic reviews leading to variability in how conflicts of interest and biases are handled, how evidence is appraised, and the overall scientific rigor of the process. In Finding What Works in Health Care the Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommends 21 standards for developing high-quality systematic reviews of comparative effectiveness research. The standards address the entire systematic review process from the initial steps of formulating the topic and building the review team to producing a detailed final report that synthesizes what the evidence shows and where knowledge gaps remain. Finding What Works in Health Care also proposes a framework for improving the quality of the science underpinning systematic reviews. This book will serve as a vital resource for both sponsors and producers of systematic reviews of comparative effectiveness research.
