Transductive-Inductive Cluster Approximation Via Multivariate Chebyshev Inequality
Approximating adequate number of clusters in multidimensional data is an open
area of research, given a level of compromise made on the quality of acceptable
results. The manuscript addresses the issue by formulating a transductive
inductive learning algorithm which uses multivariate Chebyshev inequality.
Considering clustering problem in imaging, theoretical proofs for a particular
level of compromise are derived to show the convergence of the reconstruction
error to a finite value with increasing (a) number of unseen examples and (b)
the number of clusters, respectively. Upper bounds for these error rates are
also proved. Non-parametric estimates of these error from a random sample of
sequences empirically point to a stable number of clusters. Lastly, the
generalization of algorithm can be applied to multidimensional data sets from
different fields.Comment: 16 pages, 5 figure
Inductive Synthesis of Cover-Grammars with the Help of Ant Colony Optimization
A cover-grammar of a finite language is a context-free grammar that accepts all words in the language and possibly other words that are longer than any word in the language. In this paper, we describe an efficient algorithm aided by Ant Colony System that, for a given finite language, synthesizes (constructs) a small cover-grammar of the language. We also check its ability to solve a grammatical inference task through the series of experiments
