Yagi (Japan) 6 Markov assumption of reinforcement learning. In this talk I will review the area of competitive on-line prediction, which avoids making any stochastic assumptions but still provides prediction algorithms with surprisingly strong performance guarantees. Instead of assuming a statistical model (such as iid or Markov) the theory of competitive on-line prediction uses a "soft model", which is a benchmark class of prediction strategies; the goal is to design prediction algorithms competitive with the best prediction strategies in the benchmark class. I will review both the known techniques for designing competitive on-line prediction algorithms (such as following the perturbed leader, Bayes-type aggregation, gradient descent, defensive forecasting) and the kinds of prediction tasks that can be tackled with those techniques (such as prediction with expert advice, large benchmark classes, limited feedback). 595-060 One-Class Classification Methods via Automatic Counter-Example Generation A.

Prime examples are the iid assumption of statistical learning theory (the data items are assumed to be drawn independently from the same probability distribution) and the Vladimir Vovk is Professor of Computer Science at Royal Holloway, University of London. His research interests include machine learning; predictive and Kolmogorov complexity, randomness, and information; the foundations of probability and statistics.

Lamirel (France) 11 on machine learning, data mining, and reasoning has become feasible for a wide range of problems and large data sets. Visual knowledge discovery has been conducted successfully for millennia. The Pythagorean Theorem was proven using visual means more than 2000 years ago. One of its ancient visual proofs had only one word attached to it "See". Diopahntus invented iconic reasoning in mathematics. However, visual analytics methods such as "parallel coordinates" do not address the specific needs for processing multidimensional data that are highly overlapped in the visual space. This is especially challenging in medical applications tracked with binary symptoms and in complex dynamic optimization. Blending machine learning with visual analytics is a promising approach in this area. This tutorial shows how structural relations between n-dimensional objects are represented in 2-D and 3-D instead of traditional attempts (in parallel coordinates and other methods) to visualize each attribute value of n-dimensional objects. 595-105 Extensions of the k Nearest Neighbour Methods for Classification Problems Z.
