Computer Science - Seminar Event
Location: Torgerson 2150The speaker is Prof. Ian Davidson from the Department of Computer Science at the University of California, Davis. The abstract of his talk is the following: Traditional algorithms in data mining and machine learning cannot easily encode a domain expert's knowledge, hence the chance of them finding novel or complimentary insights is limited. In this presentation I will sketch some results for encoding domain knowledge into new and existing algorithms in a principled manner. We show how to encode domain expertise into a number of problems including graph clustering/segmenting and hierarchy building and will present application results for fMRI and text analysis.
