Probabilistic Methods for Predictive Maintenance and Beyond: Graph and Human-in-the-Loop Machine Learning
No full textProbabilistic methods are key tools for machine learning problems. Even so, there remain many applications where they cannot be applied due to their limitations. These limitations may include the lack of methods for a particular data format (e.g., manifolds, texts, or graphs), data unavailability, or the inability to work collaboratively with human experts.
Inspired by problems in predictive maintenance (PdM), this thesis introduces a set of machine learning solutions that are more generally applicable. It begins with applied tasks in cable networks, data centers, and other telecom applications and indicates the crucial limitations of current approaches: the absence of (i) probabilistic methods for spatio-temporal graph problems, (ii) practical human-in-the-loop methods that learn from detailed domain experts' feedback, and (iii) systems for synthetic temporal data creation that enable secure sharing of sensitive data between parties. Moreover, even if such methods become available, it is important to describe how those methods can be used in an end-to-end system for predictive maintenance covering both the modeling and operations sides. This thesis analyses and resolves these issues.
The first issue, the lack of probabilistic methods for graph and spatio-temporal graph data, was resolved by connecting graph kernels with stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs). This method results in a variety of kernels suitable for machine learning problems on graphs, including Mat\'ern, stochastic heat, and stochastic wave graph kernels.
The second issue, the lack of human-in-the-loop methods with domain experts' explicit feedback, was resolved by developing a decision rule elicitation mechanism and its domain adaptation properties. The method is grounded in human decision-making mechanisms and has been tested in several user studies. It leads to a simple yet effective method for working with domain experts. Next, synthetic data generation was resolved by introducing an open-source software framework called TSGM. This framework effectively generates synthetic time series data and provides a toolkit for evaluation. This work also examined the various approaches to the generation and evaluation of synthetic data.
Finally, the methods proposed in the thesis resulted in successful real-world implementations tested on several large-scale cases with our industrial partner Elisa Oyj. Furthermore, those implementations led to five submitted patents, one of which has already been granted. This thesis discusses the aforementioned results, places them into a broader perspective, and provides possible avenues for future research
Old Habits Die Hard: Aleksandr Nikitin, the European Court of Human Rights, and Criminal Procedure in the Russian Federation
No full textWith the ratification of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the Russian Federation agreed to subject itself to international scrutiny through the European Court of Human Rights. The Russian Federation\u27s espionage case against Aleksandr Nikitin provides an illustrative example of the conflict between the Russian Federation\u27s new treaty obligations and its existing Code of Criminal Procedure. The Nikitin case illustrates the shift of some power from Russia\u27s executive branch to its judicial branch, and a move towards the rule of law. This Note concludes that the Code of Criminal Procedure must be revised if the Russian Federation is to comply with its treaty obligations under the Convention
Severe Intraoperative Hyperglycemia and Infectious Complications After Elective Brain Neurosurgical Procedures: Prospective Observational Study
No full textPostoperative infections after brain surgery are a serious complication potentially worsening the outcome of surgical treatment. Severe intraoperative hyperglycemia (SIH) contributes to both infectious and noninfectious postoperative complications. However, there are a lack of data on the incidence of SIH in patients undergoing elective neurosurgical brain procedures and its association with the risk of postoperative infections
The Author of the Alexander Romance
No full textThis paper, which is based on a portion of the introduction of the author’s edition of Il Romanzo di Alessandro (Mondadori: Fondazione Valla 2007), surveys the generic components of the Alexander Romance in an attempt to arrive at a definition of the work. The argument builds on Merkelbach’s categorisation of elements and uses Fusillo’s insight into the novel as an ‘encyclopaedic genre’ to propose that ‘historical novel’ is not, as Hägg contended, a misnomer for the work. The main components I discuss are: ‘life’; praxeis; chreiai; Cynic elements, including choliambic poetry and utopian perspectives; and the Egyptian aspects of the narrative. A concluding jeu d’esprit offers a characterisation of the putative author, his antecedents and his process of composition.Richard Stoneman was for 25 years editor for classics at Croom Helm and then Routledge. In 1997 he was appointed an Honorary Fellow in the department of classics, University of Exeter. After retiring from publishing in 2006 he has been pursuing his researches on the Alexander legends and teaching a course on the subject at Exeter. His Penguin translation of the Alexander Romance was published in 1991, and a volume of translated Legends of Alexander the Great appeared from Everyman in 1994. Also in 1994 he co-edited Greek Fiction with John Morgan. His edition of the Greek recensions of the Alexander Romance was published (volume I) by the Fondazione Valla in 2007 – volumes II and III will follow over the next few years – and his Alexander the Great: A Life in Legend appeared from Yale University Press in spring 2008. He is the author of a number of other books on Greek history and travel, and is writing a book on oracles
