A Novel Model of Working Set Selection for SMO Decomposition Methods
In the process of training Support Vector Machines (SVMs) by decomposition
methods, working set selection is an important technique, and some exciting
schemes were employed into this field. To improve working set selection, we
propose a new model for working set selection in sequential minimal
optimization (SMO) decomposition methods. In this model, it selects B as
working set without reselection. Some properties are given by simple proof, and
experiments demonstrate that the proposed method is in general faster than
existing methods.Comment: 8 pages, 12 figures, it was submitted to IEEE International
conference of Tools on Artificial Intelligenc

Development that works, March 31, 2011
This repository item contains a single issue of the Pardee Conference Series, On March 31, 2011, more than 100 people participated in a conference titled
âDevelopment That Works,â sponsored by Boston Universityâs Frederick S.
Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future in collaboration with the
BU Global Development program. In the pages that follow, four essays written
by Boston University graduate students capture the salient points and overarching
themes from the four sessions, each of which featured presentations by
outstanding scholars and practitioners working in the field of development. The
conference agenda and speakersâ biographies are included following the essays.The theme and the title of the conferenceââDevelopment That Worksââstemmed from the conference organizersâ desire to explore, from a groundlevel perspective, what programs, policies, and practices have been shownâor appear to have the potentialâto achieve sustained, long-term advances in
development in various parts of the world. The intent was not to simply showcase
âsuccess stories,â but rather to explore the larger concepts and opportunities
that have resulted in development that is meaningful and sustainable
over time. The presentations and discussions focused on critical assessments
of why and how some programs take hold, and what can be learned from
them. From the influence of global economic structures to innovative private sector
programs and the need to evaluate development programs at the
âgranularâ level, the expert panelists provided well-informed and often provocative
perspectives on what is and isnât working in development programs
today, and what could work better in the future

Expanding (or Just Fixing) the Residual Exception to the Hearsay Rule
The Judicial Conference Advisory Committee on Evidence Rules (âthe Committeeâ) has been considering whether to amend Federal Rule of Evidence 807 (known as the residual exception to the hearsay rule) to improve the way the Rule functionsâand also to allow the admission of more hearsay if it is reliable. At the conference sponsored by the Committee in October, 2016âtranscribed in this Fordham Law Review issueâthe Committee submitted a working draft of an amendment that was vetted by the experts at the conference and reviewed favorably by most. This Article analyzes the arguments in favor of and against the reform of the residual exception and will set forth and explain the Advisory Committeeâs approach to a possible amendment
Reflections on the 2017 HEA STEM conference: graduate employability challenges and solutions
Professor Marshall, in her conference opening remarks, asked âWhat is a university for?â She then discussed the need for higher education to develop graduates who can offer solutions to global challenges, but that this needs to include not only core skills for each discipline but also wider graduate skills that employers require. Professor Wakeham, in his keynote, questioned whether our current approach to employability development is working, for STEM undergraduates, highlighting the poor employment rates for STEM UK graduates.
In this Conference Reflection article, we will respond to the issues raised above by considering what the overarching challenges are for universities trying to teach employability and graduateness. Drawing on the conference keynotes, employer-led reports and using the reviews of Shadbolt and Wakeham, we will consider what problems and issues exist and what solutions are being devised, reflecting on the successes and difficulties reported on at the Manchester conference
