Theoretical Interpretations and Applications of Radial Basis Function Networks
Medical applications usually used Radial Basis Function Networks just as Artificial Neural Networks. However, RBFNs are Knowledge-Based Networks that can be interpreted in several way: Artificial Neural Networks, Regularization Networks, Support Vector Machines, Wavelet Networks, Fuzzy Controllers, Kernel Estimators, Instanced-Based Learners. A survey of their interpretations and of their corresponding learning algorithms is provided as well as a brief survey on dynamic learning algorithms. RBFNs' interpretations can suggest applications that are particularly interesting in medical domains
The Equi-Correlation Network: a New Kernelized-LARS with Automatic Kernel Parameters Tuning
Machine learning heavily relies on the ability to learn/approximate real functions. State variables, the perceptions, internal states, etc, of an agent are often represented as real numbers; grounded on them, the agent has to predict something, or act in some way. In this view, this outcome is a nonlinear function of the inputs. It is thus a very common task to fit a nonlinear function to observations, namely solving a regression problem. Among other approaches, the LARS is very appealing, for its nice theoretical properties, and actual efficiency to compute the whole regularization path of a supervised learning problem, along with the sparsity. In this paper, we consider the kernelized version of the LARS. In this setting, kernel functions generally have some parameters that have to be tuned. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm, the Equi-Correlation Network (ECON), which originality is that while computing the regularization path, ECON automatically tunes kernel hyper-parameters; thus, this opens the way to working with infinitely many kernel functions, from which, the most interesting are selected. Interestingly, our algorithm is still computationaly efficient, and provide state-of-the-art results on standard benchmarks, while lessening the hand-tuning burden
Non-Zero Sum Games for Reactive Synthesis
In this invited contribution, we summarize new solution concepts useful for
the synthesis of reactive systems that we have introduced in several recent
publications. These solution concepts are developed in the context of non-zero
sum games played on graphs. They are part of the contributions obtained in the
inVEST project funded by the European Research Council.Comment: LATA'16 invited pape
