Discussion on Mechanical Learning and Learning Machine

Mechanical learning is a computing system that is based on a set of simple and fixed rules, and can learn from incoming data. A learning machine is a system that realizes mechanical learning. Importantly, we emphasis that it is based on a set of simple and fixed rules, contrasting to often called machine learning that is sophisticated software based on very complicated mathematical theory, and ...

Discussion of used machine learning algorithms

Naïve Bayes algorithm is based on the Bayes theorem and the assumption that particular attributes are conditionally independent. Obviously, this assumption in usually not true (therefore a classifier is called “naïve”). The algorithm calculates the probability of belonging to particular class independently; as the final answer, the class with the highest probability is selected. Therefore, the ...

The value of bentonite for diarrhea.

Bentonite is a native, colloidal, hydrated aluminum silicate. It occurs as a very fine, odorless, pale buff or cream-colored powder, free from grit, and has a slightly earthy taste. Although it is insoluble in water, it swells to approximately 12 times its volume when added to water. Bentonite magma is prepared by adding 50 gm. of bentonite to a sufficient quantity of purified water to make 1 l...

Sealing Properties of Bentonite Suspensions*

Sealing with waterborne clays is a rapid and low cost method of controlling seepage through porous media whenever the clay source is within economical shipping distance of the sealing site. But more must be learned about this method of sealing before it can be fully utilized. Water impedance of waterborne bentonites, as measured by water loss in the filter press test, was correlated with their ...
