    成本導向多重分類問題在近年來越來越為重要,在圖形辨識和醫學究等問題上有很高的應用價值。為了使做出的分類決策可以達到最成本,陸續有許多研究者提出了加入成本資訊的機器學習演算法。些演算法中最常見的步驟,是將成本資訊轉化為每筆資料的比重。本篇論文中,我們採取了一項不同的步驟:利用迴歸分析來預估每資料相對應的分類成本,並依最低的預估成本來做分類決策。此方簡單並可以和各式的迴歸分析演算法結合,並有很強的理論基礎支。我們更進一步的分析了前述方法的盲點,利用創新的迴歸損失函,配合支持向量機,來設計更強而有力的成本導向多重分類演算,並透過實驗展示了本演算法的優越性。Cost-sensitive classification is an important research problem in recentears. It allows machine learning algorithms to use the additional cost informationo make more strategic decisions.tudies on binary cost-sensitive classification have led to promising resultsn theories, algorithms, and applications. The multi-class counterpart islso needed in many real-world applications, but is more difficult to analyze.his thesis focuses on multi-class cost-sensitive classification.xisting methods for multi-class cost-sensitive classification usually transformhe cost information into example importance (weight). This thesis offers different viewpoint of the problem, and proposes a novel method. Weirectly estimate the cost value corresponding to each prediction using regression,nd outputs the label that comes with the smallest estimated cost.e improve the method by analyzing the errors made during the decision.hen, we propose a different regression loss function that tightly connectsith the errors. The new loss function leads to a solid theoretical guaranteef error transformation. We design a concrete algorithm for the loss functionith the support vector machines. The algorithm can be viewed as a theoreticallyustified extension the popular one-versus-all support vector machine.xperiments using real-world data sets with arbitrary cost values demonstratehe usefulness of our proposed methods, and validate that the cost informationhould be appropriately used instead of dropped.致謝i文摘要iiibstract v Introduction 1.1 Problem Statement . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.2 Existing Work . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4.3 Contribution . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6 Cost-Sensitive Classification by Per Class Regression 9.1 Regression . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9.2 Methodology . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10.3 Implementation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 11.4 Regression Error Bound . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 11.5 Experimental Result . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12 Cost-Sensitive Classification by One-Sided Regression 19.1 Methodology . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 19.2 One-sided Support Vector Regression . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 24.2.1 Experiment Result . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 26.2.2 Comparison with Artificial Data Set . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 27.2.3 Comparison with Benchmark Data Sets . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28 Conclusion 31ibliography 3

    DIETARY CONDITIONS AND DIFFERENTIAL ACCESS TO FOOD RESOURCES AMONG THE VARIOUS CLASSES DURING THE HAN PERIOD

    In this thesis, I study how food resources and dietary conditions were determined by social and economic status during the Han period in China, B.C. 206~A.D.220. Even though earlier scholars have published research concerning the Chinese food culture of this period, these studies were limited in that they only illustrated the dietary culture of the upper class or the available food resources in one geographic area. Also, without any persuasive data, it has been assumed by these earlier scholars that there were big differences in food resources and food consumption between the upper and lower classes. In this thesis, for comparison among the classes, I divide the social and economic classes into five stratified groups: nobles, officials, peasants, soldiers and convicts. After a brief introduction of the nature of each social class, I examine the food resources and nutritional condition of each group using information such as the wealth and income of each group, the market price of food resources, the agricultural products of peasants, and the amount of food distribution to soldiers and convicts. I found these data from archaeological remains, received historical records and pictorial data, and excavated texts. This research shows a broader view of Chinese dietary condition focusing not only on the variety of food resources of nobles, but also on the different food accessibilities among the officials, and the food deficiencies of peasants. It also deals with the situations of food supply for soldiers and convicts in an effort to reveal the true dietary consumption and nutritional conditions for all Chinese. This research proves that the various classes during the Han period in China had different food resources and dietary conditions

    Delta Urbanism coming of age: 25 years of Delta Urbanism where are we now?

    Full text link
    ‘Delta Urbanism’ is a common field of interest of different disciplines, which discovered the need to work together in order to be able to develop fruitful strategies for the future development of urbanized delta regions. The birth of this collaboration can be dated in the 1980s and 1990s, with the rise of three different fields of concern on the effects of industrial society: the concern on the environmental impact of industrialization, the concern on the alarming state of affairs of cities in these years, and the rising concern on climate change. The development of a real program of Delta Urbanism at TU Delft started in 2005, with the International Architecture Biennale Rotterdamon ‘the Flood’, the Katrina disaster in New Orleans and the start of the new Delta Program in the Netherlands as important driving forces. Important in the Delta Urbanism program is the search for a new ‘Darwinistic’ approach, emphasizing the evolutionary character of delta regions, and adaptivity as a main strategy to survive. This approach should substitute the traditional. Reductionist ‘Einstein’ approach, which is fitting in the dominating paradigm of the industrial society. Delta Urbanism itself can also be considered an evolutionary field of interest: it is under construction continuously. For the future, we can appoint four important issues to be elaborated: a more radical approach of the new adage ‘working with water’, water as a leverage for a complex society in transition; making delta landscapes adaptive, and design as an explorative method.Urban Desig

    The T'ang Chuan-ma-fang 伝馬坊 and Ch'ang-hsing-fang 長行坊 Systems in the Western Frontier Region

    Full text link
    T’ang set up special transport facilities called Chuan-ma-fang (伝馬坊) which were initially attached to each chou (州) in the district of the Liang-chou tu-tu-fu (涼州都書府: Liang-chou Government-General). It is probable that these facilities managed the Chuan-ma (伝馬) and Chuan-lü (伝驢), and connected every chou in this region. They controlled not only general official communications but also the transportation of military commodities to the western frontier region. T’ang divorced the Chuan-ma-fang from the management of the I (駅), but it functioned within the framework of the I-chuan (駅伝) sysem which was regulated by the Lü-ling (律令: T’ang codes and statutes).On the other hand, the transport facilities called Ch’ang-hsing-fang (長行坊) undertook official communications and transportation in the districts of Hsi-chou (西州) and Pei-t’ing(北庭) which were under the rule of the Tu-hu-tu (都護府: government office of the governor-general). These facilities were established for the Chen-shou-chün (鎭守軍: stationary troops), which were born of the Hsing-chün (行軍: expeditionary troops) sent to Hsi-chou and Pei-t’ing, and their management deviated from the framework of the I-chuan system. Judging from these facts the appellation “Ch’ang-hsing (長行)” attached to Ch’ang-hsing-fang was in contraposition to the “Chuan (伝)” of the Chuan-ma- fang which was within the I-chuan system.As T’ang set up stationary troops controlled by the Chieh-tu-shih (節度使) in the district of the Liang-chou tu-tu-fu from the end of the7th century, the Ch’ang-hsing-fang system, which was for the stationary troops in Hsi-chou and Pei-t’ing, replaced the Chuan-ma-fang system in this area. It is to be assumed that the Ch’ih-chien-hsiao-ch’ang-hsing-shih (勅検校長行使) was the head of the office which aimed at the centralization of control over the transport facilities called Ch’ang-hsing-fang in all areas. From the above, it may be concluded that the Ch’ang-hsing-fang grew into the communications and transportation system of the Ho-hsi-dao (河西道) which was established in the second year of Ching-yün (景雲) under the Chieh-tu-shih system.journal articl
