Learning One More Thing
Most research on machine learning has focused on scenarios in which a learner faces a single, isolated learning task.

This paper studies lifelong learning in the context of binary classification. It pres...
متن کاملMany Maybes Mean (Mostly) the Same Thing
At the core of soft computing is the intuition that from imprecise knowledge, we can still make reasonable inferences. This paper offers experimental and mathematical evidence for this intuition. Based on a literature review and a newly developed mathematics of ”reachability”, it is argued that searches through a space containing uncertainties, most of the reachable conclusions will be reached ...

When asked to prepare a historical perspective on this very popular paper, I paid Dole a visit and we reminisced. His answer to my question of how he came to do this work on plasma fatty acids was: "Well, one thing...

One can’t do mathematics for more than ten minutes without grappling, in some way or other, with the slippery notion of equality. Slippery, because the way in which objects are presented to us hardly ever, perhaps never, immediately tells us–without further commentary–when two of them are to be considered equal. We even see this, for example, if we try to define real numbers as decimals, and th...
