/*Location*/
SSL 150
/*Details*/
Speaker: Dr. Chun-Nan Hsu, ISI, USC: Machine Learning, Information Integration and Bioinformatics
Host: Prof. Dennis McLeod
Abstract:
This talk presents how to accelerate statistical machine learning algorithms for large scale applications by aggressive extrapolation. Extrapolation methods, such as Aitken's acceleration, have the advantage that they can achieve quadratic convergence with an overhead linear to the dimension of the training data. However, they can be numerically unstable an...read more at event URL-

/*Location*/
SSL 150
/*Details*/
Speaker: Dr. Morteza Dehghani, ICT, USC: AI and Computational Social Science
Host: Prof. Ewa Deelman
Abstract:
In dealing with conflict, two broadly different approaches to modeling the values that drive decisions and choice of behavior have emerged: a consequentialist approach based on instrumental or material values, versus a deontological approach based on moral or sacred values. Sacred values are different from secular values in that they are often associated with violations of the c...read more at event URL-
