[Title] MDL and MML Similarities and Differences (Introduction to Minimum Encoding Inference Part III) [Abstract] Tech Report 207 Department of Computer Science, Monash University, Clayton, Vic. 3168, Australia Abstract: This paper continues the introduction to minimum encoding inductive inference given by Oliver and Hand. This series of papers was written with the objective of providing an introduction to this area for statisticians. We describe the message length estimates used in Wallace's Minimum Message Length (MML) inference and Rissanen's Minimum Description Length (MDL) inference. The differences in the message length estimates of the two approaches are explained. The implications of these differences for applications are discussed. Please summarise all the given information.

[Title] Learning Complex Boolean Functions: Algorithms and Applications [Abstract] The most commonly used neural network models are not well suited to direct digital implementations because each node needs to perform a large number of operations between floating point values. Fortunately, the ability to learn from examples and to generalize is not restricted to networks of this type. Indeed, networks where each node implements a simple Boolean function (Boolean networks) can be designed in such a way as to exhibit similar properties. Two algorithms that generate Boolean networks from examples are presented. The results show that these algorithms generalize very well in a class of problems that accept compact Boolean network descriptions. The techniques described are general and can be applied to tasks that are not known to have that characteristic. Two examples of applications are presented: image reconstruction and hand-written character recognition. Please summarise all the given information.

[Title] APPLICATION OF ESOP MINIMIZATION IN MACHINE LEARNING AND KNOWLEDGE DISCOVERY [Abstract] This paper presents a new application of an Exclusive-Sum-Of-Products (ESOP) minimizer EXORCISM-MV-2: to Machine Learning, and particularly, in Pattern Theory. An analysis of various logic synthesis programs has been conducted at Wright Laboratory for machine learning applications. Creating a robust and efficient Boolean minimizer for machine learning that would minimize a decomposed function cardinality (DFC) measure of functions would help to solve practical problems in application areas that are of interest to the Pattern Theory Group especially those problems that require strongly unspecified multiple-valued-input functions with a large number of variables. For many functions, the complexity minimization of EXORCISM-MV-2 is better than that of Espresso. For small functions, they are worse than those of the Curtis-like Decomposer. However, EXORCISM is much faster, can run on problems with more variables, and significant DFC improvements have also been found. We analyze the cases when EXORCISM is worse than Espresso and propose new improvements for strongly unspecified functions. Please summarise all the given information.

[Title] Error-Correcting Output Codes: A General Method for Improving Multiclass Inductive Learning Programs [Abstract] Multiclass learning problems involve finding a definition for an unknown function f(x) whose range is a discrete set containing k &gt; 2 values (i.e., k "classes"). The definition is acquired by studying large collections of training examples of the form hx i ; f(x i )i. Existing approaches to this problem include (a) direct application of multiclass algorithms such as the decision-tree algorithms ID3 and CART, (b) application of binary concept learning algorithms to learn individual binary functions for each of the k classes, and (c) application of binary concept learning algorithms with distributed output codes such as those employed by Sejnowski and Rosenberg in the NETtalk system. This paper compares these three approaches to a new technique in which BCH error-correcting codes are employed as a distributed output representation. We show that these output representations improve the performance of ID3 on the NETtalk task and of backpropagation on an isolated-letter speech-recognition task. These results demonstrate that error-correcting output codes provide a general-purpose method for improving the performance of inductive learning programs on multiclass problems.

[Title] A Unified Gradient-Descent/Clustering Architecture for Finite State Machine Induction [Abstract] Although recurrent neural nets have been moderately successful in learning to emulate finite-state machines (FSMs), the continuous internal state dynamics of a neural net are not well matched to the discrete behavior of an FSM. We describe an architecture, called DOLCE, that allows discrete states to evolve in a net as learning progresses. dolce consists of a standard recurrent neural net trained by gradient descent and an adaptive clustering technique that quantizes the state space. dolce is based on the assumption that a finite set of discrete internal states is required for the task, and that the actual network state belongs to this set but has been corrupted by noise due to inaccuracy in the weights. dolce learns to recover the discrete state with maximum a posteriori probability from the noisy state. Simulations show that dolce leads to a significant improvement in generalization performance over earlier neural net approaches to FSM induction. Please summarise all the given information.
