Download or read book Learning in the Absence of Training Data written by Dalia Chakrabarty and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-07-13 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces the concept of “bespoke learning”, a new mechanistic approach that makes it possible to generate values of an output variable at each designated value of an associated input variable. Here the output variable generally provides information about the system’s behaviour/structure, and the aim is to learn the input-output relationship, even though little to no information on the output is available, as in multiple real-world problems. Once the output values have been bespoke-learnt, the originally-absent training set of input-output pairs becomes available, so that (supervised) learning of the sought inter-variable relation is then possible. Three ways of undertaking such bespoke learning are offered: by tapping into system dynamics in generic dynamical systems, to learn the function that causes the system’s evolution; by comparing realisations of a random graph variable, given multivariate time series datasets of disparate temporal coverage; and by designing maximally information-availing likelihoods in static systems. These methodologies are applied to four different real-world problems: forecasting daily COVID-19 infection numbers; learning the gravitational mass density in a real galaxy; learning a sub-surface material density function; and predicting the risk of onset of a disease following bone marrow transplants. Primarily aimed at graduate and postgraduate students studying a field which includes facets of statistical learning, the book will also benefit experts working in a wide range of applications. The prerequisites are undergraduate level probability and stochastic processes, and preliminary ideas on Bayesian statistics.

Download or read book Applications of artificial intelligence machine learning and deep learning in plant breeding written by Maliheh Eftekhari and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-05-29 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an extensive concept that can be interpreted as a concentration on designing computer programs to train machines to accomplish functions like or better than hu-mans. An important subset of AI is Machine Learning (ML), in which a computer is provided with the capacity to learn its own patterns instead of the patterns and restrictions set by a human programmer, thus improving from experience. Deep Learning (DL), as a class of ML techniques, employs multilayered neural networks. The application of AI to plant science research is new and has grown significantly in recent years due to developments in calculation power, proficien-cies of hardware, and software progress. AI algorithms try to provide classifications and predic-tions. As applied to plant breeding, particularly omics data, ML as a given AI algorithm tries to translate omics data, which are intricate and include nonlinear interactions, into precise plant breeding. The applications of AI are extending rapidly and enhancing intensely in sophistication owing to the capability of rapid processing of huge and heterogeneous data. The conversion of AI techniques into accurate plant breeding is of great importance and will play a key role in the new era of plant breeding techniques in the coming years, particularly multi-omics data analysis. Advancements in plant breeding mainly depend upon developing statistical methods that harness the complicated data provided by analytical technologies identifying and quantifying genes, transcripts, proteins, metabolites, etc. The systems biology approach used in plant breeding, which integrates genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and other omics data, provides a massive amount of information. It is essential to perform accurate statistical analyses and AI methods such as ML and DL as well as optimization techniques to not only achieve an understanding of networks regulation and plant cell functions but develop high-precision models to predict the reaction of new Genetically Modified (GM) plants in special conditions. The constructed models will be of great economic importance, significantly reducing the time, labor, and instrument costs when finding optimized conditions for the bio-exploitation of plants. This Research Topic covers a wide range of studies on artificial intelligence-assisted plant breeding techniques, which contribute to plant biology and plant omics research. The relevant sub-topics include, but are not restricted to, the following: • AI-assisted plant breeding using omics and multi-omics approaches • Applying AI techniques along with multi-omics to recognize novel biomarkers associated with plant biological activities • Constructing up-to-date ML modeling and analyzing methods for dealing with omics data related to different plant growth processes • AI-assisted omics techniques in the plant defense process • Combining AI-assisted omics and multi-omics techniques using plant system biology approaches • Combining bioinformatics tools with AI approaches to analyze plant omics data • Designing cutting-edge workflow and developing innovative AI biology methods for omics data analysis

Download or read book Rhetorical Machines written by John Jones and published by University Alabama Press. This book was released on 2019-07-02 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A landmark volume that explores the interconnected nature of technologies and rhetorical practice Rhetorical Machines addresses new approaches to studying computational processes within the growing field of digital rhetoric. While computational code is often seen as value-neutral and mechanical, this volume explores the underlying, and often unexamined, modes of persuasion this code engages. In so doing, it argues that computation is in fact rife with the values of those who create it and thus has powerful ethical and moral implications. From Socrates’s critique of writing in Plato’s Phaedrus to emerging new media and internet culture, the scholars assembled here provide insight into how computation and rhetoric work together to produce social and cultural effects. This multidisciplinary volume features contributions from scholar-practitioners across the fields of rhetoric, computer science, and writing studies. It is divided into four main sections: “Emergent Machines” examines how technologies and algorithms are framed and entangled in rhetorical processes, “Operational Codes” explores how computational processes are used to achieve rhetorical ends, “Ethical Decisions and Moral Protocols” considers the ethical implications involved in designing software and that software’s impact on computational culture, and the final section includes two scholars’ responses to the preceding chapters. Three of the sections are prefaced by brief conversations with chatbots (autonomous computational agents) addressing some of the primary questions raised in each section. At the heart of these essays is a call for emerging and established scholars in a vast array of fields to reach interdisciplinary understandings of human-machine interactions. This innovative work will be valuable to scholars and students in a variety of disciplines, including but not limited to rhetoric, computer science, writing studies, and the digital humanities.
