    Set analysis of coincident errors and its applications for combining classifiers

    No full text
    Although addressed in many papers, classifier dependency is still not well defined. Continuously being described by variety of statistical models from conditional probability to diversity measures, dependency among classifier out-puts was recently shown to have a crucial impact on the performance of multi-ple classifier system. However, individual classifier performances still represent competitive and simple information clearly related to the performance of the combined system. In this work we show that all the measures related to classi-fier outputs can be reformulated to represent just different forms of the same in-formation of error coincidences. Applying set analysis for the representation and description of error coincidences we define collection of classifier sets de-composed into two complementary types of coincidence levels. Furthermore we illustrate a high flexibility of using the coincidence levels, which supported be a simple algebra cover many established dependency measures including combin-ing error in case of majority voting. Moreover we show that in the sets-collection representation of error coincidences a specific inclusion relation re-sults in a quicker and more effective handling of dependency information under different complexity conditions. In the experimental section we examine rela-tions of the introduced error coincidence levels with majority voting combiner using real datasets and classifiers and indicate further potential applications of the presented concepts

    Audio Interview with Mr. C.J. Rayner Whiteley

    Audio - Mr. Whiteley recounts the story of delivering the message of the flood of 1904. He took seventeen hours by horse to travel from Perryvale to Edmonton. Billy Loutit took the same message by foot arriving in Edmonton about the same time. Mr. Whiteley discusses early settlers, farming, homesteading and businesses. He has many anecdotes about life and people living in Athabasca at the start of the twentieth century. He freighted for ten years with the Hudson's Bay Company and also discusses early farming prices and technology extensivelyInformative Interview of Mr. C.J.

    The Actors' Perceptions and Expectations of their Roles in BIM-based Collaboration

    No full text
    The inter-organisational collaboration with Building Information Modelling (BIM) is one of the hottest topics in construction sector nowadays. The implementation of BIM is a complex inter-organisational process, and the sharing of information among numerous actors from multi-disciplinary backgrounds may affect the actors’ role perception and performance. This study offers insights into the BIM roles of various actors by analysing a BIM-based project carried out by an integrated partnership across many tiers. The analysis identified inconsistencies between the actors' perceptions and their partners’ expectations of their BIM roles. Inconsistencies in BIM roles were more related to soft rather than hard (domain- or technical) skills. Mismatches were found in the architect's role, as it was deemed necessary to be more domain- and BIM-related, contrary to their perceptions. Likewise, the suppliers' role called for an enhanced BIM orientation. The paper concludes with set of suggestions for increasing the joint responsibility and supporting the multi-actor collaboration.Design & Construction ManagementSustainable Housing Transformatio

    Pre-selection of independent binary features: an application to diagnosing scrapie in sheep

    No full text
    Suppose that the only available information in a multi-class problem are expert estimates of the conditional probabilities of occurrence for a set of binary features. The aim is to select a subset of features to be measured in subsequent data collection experiments. In the lack of any information about the dependencies between the features, we assume that all features are conditionally independent and hence choose the Naive Bayes classifier as the optimal classifier for the problem. Even in this (seemingly trivial) case of complete knowledge of the distributions, choosing an optimal feature subset is not straightforward. We discuss the properties and implementation details of Sequential Forward Selection (SFS) as a feature selection procedure for the current problem. A sensitivity analysis was carried out to investigate whether the same features are selected when the probabilities vary around the estimated values. The procedure is illustrated with a set of probability estimates for Scrapie in sheep.L.I. Kuncheva, C.J. Whitaker, P.D. Cockcroft, Z.S.J. Hoar
