Paul Seesequasis | Paul Seesequasis is a Canadian writer and journalist. The founder of Aboriginal Voices magazine, he is best known for his two-year social media project of posting images of indigenous peoples of Canada. He is a member of the Plains Cree First Nation from Saskatchewan. The photography project was initially inspired by his mother, an Indian residential school survivor who once commented that she wanted to see more stories about the strength and resilience of indigenous communities. With that in mind, he began searching various archives and museums to locate photos of indigenous people, choosing and posting images which conveyed positive and empowering and affirming messages about indigenous community life. In some cases, his posts have led to successful identification of the people depicted in the photographs, whose names were not always recorded in the archives. In January 2017, Seesequasis signed a deal with the Canadian division of Penguin Random House to publish the photographs in book form. The book, tentatively titled Blanket Toss Under Midnight Sun and slated for publication in 2018, will include a written component documenting the context of the photographs, the subjects and the photographers. He published the novella Tobacco Wars in 2010. | 156,141 |

Instance selection | Instance selection (or dataset reduction, or dataset condensation) is an important Data pre-processing step that can be applied in many Machine learning (or Data mining) tasks. Approaches for instance selection can be applied for reducing the original dataset to a manageable volume, leading to a reduction of the computational resources that are necessary for performing the learning process. Algorithms of instance selection can also be applied for removing noisy instances, before applying learning algorithms. This step can improve the accuracy in classification problems. Algorithm for instance selection should identify a subset of the total available data to achieve the original purpose of the data mining (or machine learning) application as if the whole data had been used. Considering this, the optimal outcome of IS would be the minimum data subset that can accomplish the same task with no performance loss, in comparison with the performance achieved when the task is performed using the whole available data. Therefore, every instance selection strategy should deal with a trade-off between the reduction rate of the dataset and the classification quality. | 156,168 |
