Book Machine Learning Methods with Noisy  Incomplete or Small Datasets

Download or read book Machine Learning Methods with Noisy Incomplete or Small Datasets written by Jordi Solé-Casals and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2021-08-17 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past years, businesses have had to tackle the issues caused by numerous forces from political, technological and societal environment. The changes in the global market and increasing uncertainty require us to focus on disruptive innovations and to investigate this phenomenon from different perspectives. The benefits of innovations are related to lower costs, improved efficiency, reduced risk, and better response to the customers’ needs due to new products, services or processes. On the other hand, new business models expose various risks, such as cyber risks, operational risks, regulatory risks, and others. Therefore, we believe that the entrepreneurial behavior and global mindset of decision-makers significantly contribute to the development of innovations, which benefit by closing the prevailing gap between developed and developing countries. Thus, this Special Issue contributes to closing the research gap in the literature by providing a platform for a scientific debate on innovation, internationalization and entrepreneurship, which would facilitate improving the resilience of businesses to future disruptions.

Book Machine Learning For Absolute Beginners

Download or read book Machine Learning For Absolute Beginners written by Jonathan Fitzpatrick and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-11-29 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Different computer concepts have been misused and sometimes interchanged, leading to confusion, especially for new computer users and researchers. However, the knowledge of computer studies terms these concepts, which are almost similar but differ from each other. Besides, all these concepts of computer systems, both hardware and software are connected or depend on each other in different ways. As such, this book is what you have been waiting for to learn these terms, which seem to represent a similar computer process. The metrics of how broad computer studies do not matter, but the primary understanding of these concepts does. Machine learning, data science, pattern recognition, artificial intelligence, and deep learning are the most commonly confused and interchanged terms used out there. Inside this book, however, you will find the descriptions of both machine learning and data science and their connections and relationship. That is, you have to initially learn and have a general idea about machine learning and data science, which therefore provides a connection between the two concepts. Inside, you will find an overview of machine learning, including the definition, building blocks, and the common types used today. On the other hand, you will also find all you need to know about data science, including the definition and a general understanding through highlighted examples. Besides, the book also details the components of data science, allowing you to note the differences and similarities with machine learning. To this end, you will then find the connection between machine learning and data science, including the similarities which confuse some individuals and the differences, which separates these two computer study concepts. Also, inside, you will find the impact of neural networks on both machine learning and pattern recognition. The book initially details about neural networks, which is an essential topic in computer studies, especially in making machines learn, think, and behave like humans. You will find a general overview of neural networks and how the human brain structure and functions contributed to the creation of learning skills in computers. Also included are the components of neural networks and the connection it has to machine learning. Neural networks provide a significant contribution to machine learning, especially in handling complex datasets. Similarly, also included in the book is the contribution of neural networks in pattern recognition. Pattern recognition is another essential form of intelligence in machines where arrangements and retrieval of information based on trends are made possible by neural networks. Inside You Will Find The general understanding of machine learning, data science, neural networks, and pattern recognition The components of machine learning, data science, and neural networks Essential types of machine learning and how they help in the creation of information used in other computer concepts Similarities and differences between machine learning and data science The connection and relationship between data science and machine learning especially when it comes to the facilitation of processes datasets analysis Neural networks in machine learning and how they learn new information Neural networks in pattern recognition as well as its benefits in distinguishing different shapes, objects and images And more...

Book Machine Learning in Complex Scientific Domains

Download or read book Machine Learning in Complex Scientific Domains written by Arghya Datta and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Machine learning has demonstrated potential in analyzing large, complex datasets and has become ubiquitous across many fields of scientific research. As machine learning is actively deployed in many complex and critical domains, it is essential for machine learning to engage with domain expertise to aid in knowledge discovery as well as address challenges in predictive modeling in complex domains. Domain expertise represents an essential and elaborate collection of knowledge that is often under-utilized when applying machine learning in complex domains. In this dissertation, I have addressed existing challenges regarding knowledge discovery in complex domains via engagement with domain expertise, particularly in the context of medicine and healthcare, as well as developing neural network-based algorithms that improve predictive modeling in challenging scenarios such as class imbalance and under-representation. First, a domain expertise guided machine learning framework has been developed that is capable of identifying potential interventions for clinical outcomes. Domain experts were looped in the model building process to mitigate the pitfalls of confounding and data-leaking variables. Second, a simple machine learning approach has been presented to study drug-drug interactions that lead to adverse events of clinical significance. Identifying unknown interventions for clinical outcomes and adverse drug interactions lead to novel knowledge discovery in a complex domain such as in medicine and healthcare. Third, the problems of class imbalance and under-representation have been studied. Novel neural network architectures have been presented that simultaneously improve classification and calibration performances across under-represented sub-populations in class imbalanced datasets.

  • Publisher : Springer Science & Business Media
  • Release : 2011-06-17
  • ISBN : 1441997822
  • Pages : 628 pages

Download or read book Targeted Learning written by Mark J. van der Laan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-06-17 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The statistics profession is at a unique point in history. The need for valid statistical tools is greater than ever; data sets are massive, often measuring hundreds of thousands of measurements for a single subject. The field is ready to move towards clear objective benchmarks under which tools can be evaluated. Targeted learning allows (1) the full generalization and utilization of cross-validation as an estimator selection tool so that the subjective choices made by humans are now made by the machine, and (2) targeting the fitting of the probability distribution of the data toward the target parameter representing the scientific question of interest. This book is aimed at both statisticians and applied researchers interested in causal inference and general effect estimation for observational and experimental data. Part I is an accessible introduction to super learning and the targeted maximum likelihood estimator, including related concepts necessary to understand and apply these methods. Parts II-IX handle complex data structures and topics applied researchers will immediately recognize from their own research, including time-to-event outcomes, direct and indirect effects, positivity violations, case-control studies, censored data, longitudinal data, and genomic studies.
