Ensembling neural networks: many could be better than all
Authors: Zhi-Hua Zhou, Jianxin Wu, Wei Tang
Venue: Artificial Intelligence (2002)

Neural network ensemble is a learning paradigm where many neural networks are jointly used to solve a problem. In this paper, the relationship between the ensemble and its component neural networks is analyzed from the context of both regression and classification, which reveals that it may be better to ensemble many instead of all of the neural networks at hand. This result is interesting because at present, most approaches ensemble all the available neural networks for prediction. Then, in order to show that the appropriate neural networks for composing an ensemble can be effectively selected from a set of available neural networks, an approach named GASEN is presented. GASEN trains a number of neural networks at first. Then it assigns random weights to those networks and employs genetic algorithm to evolve the weights so that they can characterize to some extent the fitness of the neural networks in constituting an ensemble. Finally it selects some neural networks based on the evolved weights to make up the ensemble. A large empirical study shows that, compared with some popular ensemble approaches such as Bagging and Boosting, GASEN can generate neural network ensembles with far smaller sizes but stronger generalization ability. Furthermore, in order to understand the working mechanism of GASEN, the bias-variance decomposition of the error is provided in this paper, which shows that the success of GASEN may lie in that it can significantly reduce the bias as well as the variance.

D2Cell data mining utility
Authors: John Manges
Venue: Proceedings of the 2001 conference on APL: an arrays odyssey (2001)

D2Cell is a Data Mining utility for Windows based PCs, that downloads custom Mainframe DB2 data directly into Microsoft Excel. One may use the self-contained Wizard to automatically generate SQL for processing. One may also simply type in their own SQL statements, or cut and paste from another source such as QMF or SPUFI. In any case, the Results Viewer will allow you to display the results, and modify when necessary, before exporting to Excel. A feature called Db2Explorer was recently added which further extends the functionality of data mining and includes several database visualization techniques.D2Cell is currently in use by over 275 internal users at Primerica Financial Services (PFS). It is a very popular and well-liked application, and has saved countless hours in every department it has been installed. The D2Cell application is very stable and has been in use for about a year and a half. The program source code, not counting bitmaps and help documents is only 210 kilobytes, and will run on a machine as small as a 486 with 8 meg of memory. The 210 kilobytes is composed of 25 screens and 2119 lines of Dyalog APL code.PLEASE NOTE: The results and data shown in this document were produced using test or altered data.

A Model for the Unstable Manifold of the Bursting Behavior in the 2D Navier--Stokes Flow
Authors: Nejib Smaoui
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2001)

Quasi-periodic and bursting behaviors of the two-dimensional (2D) Navier--Stokes flow are analyzed. The tools used are the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) method and the artificial neural network (ANN) method. The POD is used to extract coherent structures and prominent features from PDE simulations of a quasi-periodic regime and a bursting regime. Eigenfunctions of the two regimes were related by the symmetries of the 2D Navier--Stokes equations. Three eigenfunctions that represent the dynamics of the quasi-periodic regime and two eigenfunctions associated with the unstable manifold of the bursting regime were derived. Calculations of the POD eigenfunctions are performed on the Fourier amplitudes in a comoving frame. Inverse Fourier transform is applied to represent the POD eigenfunctions in both streamfunction and vorticity formulations so that the number of relevant eigenfunctions for streamfunction and vorticity data is the same. Projection onto the two eigenfunctions associated with the unstable manifold reduces the data to two time series. Processing these time series through an ANN results in a low-dimensional model describing the unstable manifold of the bursting regime that can be used to predict the onset of a burst.

Parameterized object sensitivity for points-to and side-effect analyses for Java
Authors: Ana Milanova, Atanas Rountev, Barbara G. Ryder
Venue: ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes (2002)

The goal of points-to analysis for Java is to determine the set of objects pointed to by a reference variable or a reference objet field. Improving the precision of practical points-to analysis is important because points-to information has a wide variety of client applications in optimizing compilers and software engineering tools. In this paper we present object sensitivity, a new form of context sensitivity for flow-insensitive points-to analysis for Java. The key idea of our approach is to analyze a method separately for each of the objects on which this method is invoked. To ensure flexibility and practicality, we propose a parameterization framework that allows analysis designers to control the tradeoffs between cost and precision in the object-sensitive analysis.Side-effect analysis determines the memory locations that may be modified by the execution of a program statement. This information is needed for various compiler optimizations and software engineering tools. We present a new form of side-effect analysis for Java which is based on object-sensitive points-to analysis.We have implemented one instantiation of our parameterized object-sensitive points-to analysis. We compare this instantiation with a context-insensitive points-to analysis for Java which is based on Andersen's analysis for C [4]. On a set of 23 Java programs, our experiments show that the two analyses have comparable cost. In some cases the object-sensitive analysis is actually faster than the context-insensitive analysis. Our results also show that object sensitivity significantly improves the precision of side-effect analysis, call graph construction, and virtual call resolution. These experiments demonstrate that object-sensitive analyses can achieve significantly better precision than context-insensitive ones, while at the same time remaining efficient and practical.

AdJava: automatic distribution of Java applications
Authors: Mohammad M. Fuad, Michael J. Oudshoorn
Venue: Australian Computer Science Communications (2002)

The majority of the world's computing resources remains idle most of the time. By using this resource pool, an individual computation may be completed in a fraction of time required to run the same computation on a single machine. However, distributing a program over a number of machines proves to be a tedious and difficult job. This paper introduces a system, called AdJava, which harnesses the computing power of these under-utilized heterogeneous computers by automatically distributing the user application across the available resources. In addition to providing transparent automatic distribution, AdJava provides load balancing and migration of distributed objects through the use of intelligent software agents. The system provides all this support without any programmer involvement and without modifying the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). AdJava's range of features, combined with its ease of use, makes it a powerful system for distributed computing.

A Finite-Volume Method for the Maxwell Equations in the Time Domain
Authors: C.-D. Munz, R. Schneider, U. Voss
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2000)

A finite-volume scheme for the Maxwell equations is proposed using collocated nonorthogonal curvilinear grid arrangements, with the advantage that all components of the electric and magnetic field are stored at the same computational location and time. It is based on construction principles of high-resolution schemes for hyperbolic conservation laws and takes into account the local wave propagation. The implementation of boundary conditions based on the characteristic theory is described. A new divergence correction technique is proposed to preserve locally the charge conservation. This is important if the Maxwell solver is used within an electromagnetic particle-in-cell (PIC) code. The accuracy and efficiency of this finite-volume framework is demonstrated with problems of electromagnetic wave propagation and of the self-consistent motion of charged particles.
