    2000.04[Theoretical analyses of boosting methods] Boosting is a technique for constructing a highly accurate classifier by combining many ``weak'' classifiers. Although boosting has become a fundamental tool in machine learning and data mining these days, its theoretical propeties are yet to be understood. We have analysed theoretical properties of boosting in order to design more efficient boosting methods. As a result, we clarified a property which might be a key for further improvement. So far, we are developping a new boosting algorithm based on our analysis..

Matsumoto et al. proposed an exact algorithm that consists of two phases: first construct a Multi-valued Decision Diagram (MDD) to represent feasible permutations of jobs, and then find the shortest path in the MDD which corresponds to the optimal solution. Although their algorithm performs significantly better than standard IP solvers for problems with dense constraints, the performance rapidly diminishes when the number of constraints decreases, which is due to the exponential growth of MDDs. In this paper, we introduce an equivalence relation among feasible permutations and show that it suffices to construct an MDD that maintains only one representative for each equivalence class. Experimental results show that our algorithm outperforms Matsumoto et al.’s algorithm for problems with sparse constraints, while keeping good performance for dense constraints. Moreover, we show that Matsumoto et al.’s algorithm can be extended for solving a more general problem of minimizing weighted total flow time..

One of the previous approaches to the problem is to apply online prediction method, in which two external procedures the projection and the metarounding are assumed to be implemented. In this work, we generalize the projection to multiple projections. As an application of our framework, we show an algorithm for an online job scheduling problem with a single machine with precedence constraints..

Our bounds are tighter, compared to known bounds using rank or the related quantity only, by taking the additional L1 and L constraints into account. Also, we show that our bounds on the Rademacher complexity of the classes are optimal..

Kohei Hatano, Can machine learning techniques provide better learning support for elderly people?, 6th International Conference on Distributed, Ambient and Pervasive Interactions, DAPI 2018 Held as Part of HCI International 2018 Distributed, Ambient and Pervasive Interactions Technologies and Contexts - 6th International Conference, DAPI 2018, Held as Part of HCI International 2018, Proceedings, 10.1007/978-3-319-91131-1_14, 178-187, 2018.01, Computer-based support for learning of elderly people is now considered as an important issue in the super-aged society. Extra cares are needed for elderly people’s learning compared to younger people, since they might have difficulty in using computers, reduced cognitive ability and other physical problems which make them less motivated. Key components of a better learning support system are sensing the contexts surrounding elderly people and providing appropriate feedbacks to them. In this paper, we review some existing techniques of the contextual bandit framework in the machine learning literature, which could be potentially useful for online decision making scenarios given contexts. We also discuss issues and challenges to apply the framework..

  • We show that one of machine learning techniques called “boosting” can be efficiently computed over compressed data using non-determinist Zero-Suppressed Binary Decision Diagrams (ZDDs). A big advantage of this scheme is the ability to perform analysis using big data with minimal space. An interesting point in this research is that the combinatorial online prediction, a seemingly unrelated machine learning concept is successfully adopted for utilizing compressed data.
