Machine Learning Spring semester 2004 Lecture 3 : March 15 , 2004

This lecture summary discusses the foundations on which PAC Learning, a machine learning model, is based on. This model focuses on inductively learning an unknown target function, given only training examples of this target function and a space of candidate hypotheses. The questions that we will concern are how many training examples are sufficient to successfully learn the target function, and...

QuickScan Reviews in Pediatric Dentistry, March 15 2009

Background: Fluoride-releasing restorative materials are often selected because of the anti-caries effect that has been reported as a result of their fluoride release. Much of this effect has been reported as it relates to remineralization. Less work has been performed looking at the potential of fluoride released from glass-ionomer cements (GICs) to have an effect on cariogenic bacteria direct...
