ECUE: A Spam Filter that Uses Machine Learning to Track Concept Drift
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 2006-02-10)While text classification has been identified for some time as a promising application area for Artificial Intelligence, so far few deployed applications have been described. In this paper we present a spam filtering ... -
Efficient Prediction-Based Validation for Document Clustering
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 2006-05-02)Recently, stability-based techniques have emerged as a very promising solution to the problem of cluster validation. An inherent drawback of these approaches is the computational cost of generating and assessing multiple ... -
Epistemological Pitfalls in Metaphor Comprehension: A Comparison of Three Models and a New Theory of Metaphor
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1995-12)[Introduction] If metaphor is to be viewed as a fundamental cognitive agency, as recent work suggests, what ramifications does this view have for a model of semantic memory? This paper presents a computational treatment ... -
The Epoch Interpretation of Learning
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1998-06)In this paper we propose a simple, alternative interpretation of backpropagation learning. We call this the ?epoch interpretation of learning? and show how it can be used to improve the performance of earlystopping based ... -
Evaluating Density Forecasting Models
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 2006-05-02)Density forecasting in regression is gaining popularity as real world applications demand an estimate of the level of uncertainty in predictions. In this paper we describe the two goals of density forecasting1 sharpness ... -
An Evaluation of AOP for Java-based Real-time Systems Development
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2003-09)Advances in programming language have improved the software developer?s ability to achieve separation of concerns (SOC). Although object-oriented (OO) technology offers greater ability than previous language paradigms ... -
Evaluation of Aspect-Oriented Software Development for Distributed Systems
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2002-09)Problems relating to the issue of modularity result in the underperformance of the object-oriented software development paradigm. Aspect-oriented software development (AOSD) is a new technology for the separation of ... -
An Evaluation of Caching Strategies for Clustered Web Servers
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2001-09)The exponential growth of the Internet and the increasing demands put upon Web servers has created the need for a scalable clustered Web servers. In this paper we attempt to analyse the important issues facing the ... -
An Evaluation of the Usefulness of Case-Based Explanation
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 2003)One of the perceived benefits of Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) is the potential to use retrieved cases to explain predictions. Surprisingly, this aspect of CBR has not been much researched. There has been some early work on ... -
An Evaluation of the Usefulness of Explanation in a CBR System for Decision Support in Bronchiolitis Treatment
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 2006-04-04)The research presented here explores the hypothesis that the deployment and acceptance of decision support systems in medicine will be enhanced if the basis for the recommendation produced by the system is apparent. We ... -
An Evaluation of XML Associated Vulnerabilities in the Xerces-C++ Parser
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2005-09)One of the key concerns to the adoption of XML as the de facto standard for information representation is security. This has clear concerns for the continued success ofWeb Services as many elements of Web Services are ... -
Example-Based Machine Translation: An Adaptation-Guided Retrieval Approach
(University of Dublin, Trinity College. Department of Computer Science, 1999-09)Translation can be viewed as a problem-solving process where a source language text is transformed into its target language equivalent. A machine translation system, solving the problem from first-principles, requires more ... -
Experiments in Adaptation-Guided Retrieval in Case-Based Design
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1994-12)Case-based reasoning (CBR) has been applied with some success to complex planning and design tasks. In such systems, the best case is retrieved and adapted to solve a particular target problem. In general, the best case ... -
Exploiting Re-ranking Information in a Case-Based Personal
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 2003)Intelligent software assistants are becoming more common in the e-commerce domain. We are working on a personal travel assistant. The goal of this application is to use case based reasoning to assist the user in arranging ... -
An Extensible Administration and Configuration Tool for Linux Clusters
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 1999-09)This project addresses the lack of system administration tools for Linux clusters. The goals of the project were to design and implement an extensible system that would facilitate the administration and configuration of ... -
FacetS: First Class Entities for an Open Dynamic AOP Language
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 2006)This paper describes a new aspect language construct for Squeak, named FACETS. Aspects are completely integrated within the Squeak programming language and its environment. The innovations of FACETS are: (i) traits can ... -
Feature Extraction for Classification in Knowledge
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 2003)Dimensionality reduction is a very important step in the data mining process. In this paper, we consider feature extraction for classification tasks as a technique to overcome problems occurring because of ?the curse ... -
Feature Extraction for Dynamic Integration of Classifiers
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 2006)Recent research has shown the integration of multiple classifiers to be one of the most important directions in machine learning and data mining. In this paper, we present an algorithm for the dynamic integration of ... -
Feature Extraction for Spam Classification
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2004-09)E-mail has emerged as one of the primary means of communication used in the world today. Its rapid adoption has left it ripe for misuse and abuse. This came in the guise of Unsolicited Commercial E-mail (UCE) or as it is ... -
The Federated Event Service
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2003-09)Event services provide asynchronous, decoupled, anonymous message-based communication. This facilitates scalable distributed systems composed of autonomous concurrently executing entities. There are several kinds of event ...
