Abstract:

Probability learning is the ability to establish a relationship between stimulus and outcomes based on occurrence probabilities using repetitive feedbacks. Participants learn the task according to the cue-outcome relationship, and try to gain in depth understanding of this relationship throughout the experiment. While learning is at the highest level, people rely on their working memory. In this study 20 participants were presented a probability learning task, and their prefrontal cortex activity was measured with functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy. It was hypothesized that as participants

Abstract:

Machine learning models automatically learn from historical data to predict unseen events. Such events are often represented as complex multi-dimensional structures. In many cases there is high uncertainty in the prediction process. Research has developed probabilistic models to capture distributions of complex objects, but their learning objective is often agnostic of the evaluation loss. In this thesis, we address the aforementioned defficiency by designing probabilistic methods for structured object prediction that take into account the task at hand. First, we consider that the task at hand

Abstract:

We demonstrate a method of reinforcement learning that uses training in simulation. Our system generates an estimate of the potential reward and danger of each action as well as a measure of the uncertainty present in both. The system generates this by seeking out not only rewarding actions but also dangerous ones in the simulated training. During runtime our system is able to use this knowledge to avoid risks while accomplishing its tasks.

Abstract:

Nontrivial domains can be difficult to understand and the task of encoding a model of such a domain can be difficult for a human expert, which is one of the fundamental problems of knowledge acquisition. Model learning provides a way to address this problem by allowing a predictive model of the domain's dynamics to be learnt algorithmically, without human supervision. Such models can provide insight about the domain to a human or aid in automated planning or reinforcement learning. This dissertation addresses the problem of how to learn a model of a continuous, dynamic domain, from sensory obs

Recently geometric deep learning introduced a new way for machine learning algorithms to tackle point cloud data in its raw form. Pioneers like PointNet and many architectures building on top of its success realize the importance of invariance to initial data transformations. These include shifting, scaling and rotating the point cloud in 3D space. Similarly to our desire for image classifying machine learning models to classify an upside down dog as a dog, we wish geometric deep learning models to succeed on transformed data. As such, many models employ an initial data transform in their mode

In recent years, machine learning has become utilized in external radiation therapy treatment planning.

Rather than predicting a deterministic plan, there is great value in modeling it stochastically, i.e. predicting a probability distribution of dose from CT-scans and delineated biological structures.

In the Monty Hall Dilemma (MHD), three doors are presented with a prize behind one and participants are instructed to choose a door. One of the unchosen doors is then shown to not have the prize and the participant can choose to stay with their door or switch to the other one. The optimal strategy is to switch. Herbranson and Schroeder (2010) found that humans performed poorly on this task, whereas pigeons learned to switch readily. However, we found that pigeons learned to switch at level only slightly above humans. We also found that pigeons stay nearly exclusively when staying is the optima

Abstract:

Older adults tend to use strategies that differ from those used by young adults to solve decision-making tasks. MRI experiments suggest that altered strategy use during aging can be accompanied by a change in extent of activation of a given brain region, inter-hemispheric bilateralization or added brain structures. It has been suggested that these changes reflect compensation for less effective networks to enable optimal performance. One way that communication can be influenced within and between brain networks is through oscillatory events that help structure and synchronize incoming and outg

Abstract:

This work presents an enhancement to the classification tree algorithm which forms the basis for Random Forests. Differently from the classical tree-based methods that focus on one variable at a time to separate the observations, the new algorithm performs the search for the best split in two-dimensional space using a linear combination of variables. Besides the classification, the method can be used to determine variables interaction and perform feature extraction. Theoretical investigations and numerical simulations were used to analyze the properties and performance of the new approach. Com

Abstract:

By observing a similarity between the goal of stochastic optimal control to minimize an expected cost functional and the aim of machine learning to minimize an expected loss function, a method of applying machine learning algorithm to approximate the optimal control function is established and implemented via neural approximation. Based on a discretization framework, a recursive formula for the gradient of the approximated cost functional on the parameters of neural network is derived. For a well-known Linear-Quadratic-Gaussian control problem, the approximated neural network function obtained

Abstract:

Machine learning has been applied to sequential data for a long time in the field of system identification. As deep learning grew under the late 00's machine learning was again applied to sequential data but from a new angle, not utilizing much of the knowledge from system identification. Likewise, the field of system identification has yet to adopt many of the recent advancements in deep learning. This thesis is a response to that. It introduces the field of deep learning in a probabilistic machine learning setting for problems known from system identification. Our goal for sequential modelin

Abstract:

Machine learning has risen in importance across science, engineering, and business in recent years. Domain experts have begun to understand how their data analysis problems can be solved in a principled and efficient manner using methods from machine learning, with its simultaneous focus on statistical and computational concerns. Moreover, the data in many of these application domains has exploded in availability and scale, further underscoring the need for algorithms which find patterns and trends quickly and correctly. However, most people actually analyzing data today operate far from the e
