Many learning tasks involve searching through a discrete space of performance elements, seeking an element whose future utility is expected to be high. As the task of nding the global optimum is often intractable, many practical learning systems use simple forms of hill-climbing to nd a locally optimal element. However, hill-climbing can be complicated by the fact that the utility value of a pe...

When Jim Lyons-Weiler and I discussed what we might do with an Open Access journal on Cancer Informatics, we both felt that it was important to avoid loosing focus on what the end-point of both the research and its dissemination is. In all its forms cancer is inevitably an unpleasant affl iction that harms every aspect of the lives of sufferers and those who love them. Jim and I want this journ...

Using the clover fermion action in unquenched QCD with pion masses as low as 420 MeV, we look for evidence for chiral logs in the static-light decay constant. There is some evidence for a chiral log term, if the original static theory of Eichten and Hill is used. However, the more precise data from the static action of the ALPHA collaboration do not show any evidence for non-linear dependence o...

Inflaton field governed universe from NKK theory of gravity: stochastic approach. Abstract We study a nonperturbative single field (inflaton) governed cosmological model from a 5D Noncompact Kaluza-Klein (NKK) theory of gravity. The inflaton field fluctuations are estimated for different epochs of the evolution of the universe. We conclude that the inflaton field has been sliding down its (quad...

In Hill [11], it was shown that an almost-sure theory for a Fraïssé class K relative to an asymptotic probability measure with “independent sampling” is necessarily super-simple of finite rank with D(x=x) = 1. In this note, we show that this independent sampling hypothesis is much stronger than necessary. By examining the Aldous-Hoover-Kallenberg (AHK) presentation of an asymptotic probability ...
