PROBLEM: This paper presents complexity analysis and variational methods for inference in probabilistic description logics featuring Boolean operators, quantification, qualified number restrictions, nominals, inverse roles and role hierarchies. Inference is shown to be PEXP-complete, and variational methods are designed so as to exploit logical inference whenever possible.

SOLUTION: Complexity Analysis and Variational Inference for Interpretation-based Probabilistic Description Logics

PROBLEM: A Verbal Autopsy is the record of an interview about the circumstances of an uncertified death. In developing countries, if a death occurs away from health facilities, a field-worker interviews a relative of the deceased about the circumstances of the death; this Verbal Autopsy can be reviewed offsite. We report on a comparative study of the processes involved in Text Classification applied to classifying Cause of Death: feature value representation; machine learning classification algorithms; and feature reduction strategies in order to identify the suitable approaches applicable to the classification of Verbal Autopsy text. We demonstrate that normalised term frequency and the standard TFiDF achieve comparable performance across a number of classifiers. The results also show Support Vector Machine is superior to other classification algorithms employed in this research. Finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness of employing a ’locally-semisupervised’ feature reduction strategy in order to increase performance accuracy.

SOLUTION: A Comparative Study of Machine Learning Methods for Verbal Autopsy Text Classification

PROBLEM: We describe a general framework for online adaptation of optimization hyperparameters by ‘hot swapping’ their values during learning. We investigate this approach in the context of adaptive learning rate selection using an explore-exploit strategy from the multi-armed bandit literature. Experiments on a benchmark neural network show that the hot swapping approach leads to consistently better solutions compared to well-known alternatives such as AdaDelta and stochastic gradient with exhaustive hyperparameter search.
