Both theoretical and empirical findings have suggested that combining different models can be an effective way to improve the predictive performance of each individual model. It is especially occurred when the models in the ensemble are quite different. Hybrid techniques that decompose a time series into its linear and nonlinear components are one of the most important kinds of the hybrid model...

Predictive quantitative structure–activity relationship was performed on the novel 4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline and 4-oxo-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives to explore relationship between the structure of synthesized compounds and their anti-HIV-1 activities. In this way, the suitable set of the molecular descriptors was calculated and the important descriptors using the variable selections ...

Adaptation of web pages to needs of a specific user is today’s trend of web technologies. The web adaptation and personalization problem, thus modification of web documents in sense of respecting needs and possibilities of a concrete user, could be solved by constructing and maintaining of a user predictive model, which provides predictions of the next user’s step in his communication with the ...

We consider the problems of learning and planning in Markov decision processes with temporally extended actions represented in the options framework. We propose to use predictions about the duration of extended actions to represent the state and show how this leads to a compact predictive state representation model independent of the set of primitive actions. Then we develop a consistent and ef...

Modeling long-term dependencies in time series has proved very difficult to achieve with traditional machine learning methods. This problem occurs when considering music data. In this paper, we introduce generative models for melodies. We decompose melodic modeling into two subtasks. We first propose a rhythm model based on the distributions of distances between subsequences. Then, we define a ...
