In the preparatory stage of product manufacturing, its defect risk is often evaluated by checking whether experimentally manufactured products cause the defect or not. The experimentally manufacturing is conducted for various values of variables which may related the defect, but manufacturing products for all combinations of the values will cost a lot especially when the number of variables is ...

Stochastic gradient descent is a general algorithm that includes LMS, on-line backpropagation, and adaptive k-means clustering as special cases. The standard choices of the learning rate (both adap-tive and xed functions of time) often perform quite poorly. In contrast, our recently proposed class of \search then converge" (STC) learning rate schedules (Darken and Moody, 1990b, 1991) display th...

Recent research shows that our innate capacity to adapt our movements to compensate for changes to our body or the environment is far more susceptible to modulation by experience than previously thought.

We present a novel per-dimension learning rate method for gradient descent called ADADELTA. The method dynamically adapts over time using only first order information and has minimal computational overhead beyond vanilla stochastic gradient descent. The method requires no manual tuning of a learning rate and appears robust to noisy gradient information, different model architecture choices, var...

In this paper we show that for discounted MDPs with discount factor, > 1/2 the asymptotic rate of convergence of Q-Iearning is O(1/tR(1-1') if R(1 ,) < 1/2 and O( Jlog log tit) otherwise provided that the state-action pairs are sampled from a fixed probability distribution. Here R = Pmin/Pmax is the ratio of the minimum and maximum state-action occupation frequencies. The results extend to conv...

background: although nursing faculties may believe that they possess a core of knowledge about ethical interactions with students, they may unwittingly risk crossing an ethical boundary in the learning environment. the ethical dimension in education exists because the instructor has authority to contribute to or impede the students’ acquisition of knowledge. therefore, this study aimed to deter...
