How Symbolic Learning Can Help Statistical Learning (and vice versa)

We describe in this paper how different learning strategies can be applied on the same NLP task, namely chunking. The reference corpus is extracted from the French Treebank, the symbolic learning strategy used is grammatical inference and the statistical one is CRFs (Conditional Random Fields). As expected, the symbolic approach allows readability but is less effective than the statistical one....

Volcanism and climate: chicken and egg (or vice versa)?

The topics covered in an energetic and broad-reaching discussion included the effects of climate on volcanic activity and vice versa, uncertainties about volcanic CO2 emissions and feedbacks and complexities in the volcano–climate system. The discussion ended in consensus about the need for a variety of modelling approaches to better characterize poorly understood feedbacks between volcanoes an...

What Simulations Can Do That Experiments Cannot, And Vice Versa

Extended Abstract In this talk I shall explore what kind of knowledge can be obtained from computer simulations and the sense in which that knowledge is different from what can be gained from traditional experiments on the one hand and from traditional theoretical work on the other. Some recent literature has suggested that the more similar the experimental subjects are to the target systems, t...
