Developing reproducible and comprehensible computational models
Quantitative predictions for complex scientific theories are often obtained by running simulations on computational models. In order for a theory to meet with wide-spread acceptance, it is important that the model be reproducible and comprehensible by independent researchers. However, the complexity of computational models can make the task of replication all but impossible. Previous authors ha...
متن کاملReproducible research in computational science.
Computational science has led to exciting new developments, but the nature of the work has exposed limitations in our ability to evaluate published findings. Reproducibility has the potential to serve as a minimum standard for judging scientific claims when full independent replication of a study is not possible.
متن کاملComputational models of developing neural systems
Thework of this thesis has focused on creating computational models of developing neurons. Three different but related areas of research have been studied how cells make connections, what influences the shape of these connections and how neuronal network behaviour can be influenced by local interactions. In order to understand how cells make connections I simulated the dynamics of the neuronal ...
متن کاملFrom Ensemble Methods to Comprehensible Models
Ensemble methods improve accuracy by combining the predictions of a set of different hypotheses. However, there are two important shortcomings associated with ensemble methods. Huge amounts of memory are required to store a set of multiple hypotheses and, more importantly, comprehensibility of a single hypothesis is lost. In this work, we devise a new method to extract one single solution from ...
متن کاملExtracting Comprehensible Models from Trained Neural Networks
Although neural networks have been used to develop highly accurate classifiers in numerous real-world problem domains, the models they learn are notoriously difficult to understand. This thesis investigates the task of extracting comprehensible models from trained neural networks, thereby alleviating this limitation. The primary contribution of the thesis is an algorithm that overcomes the sign...
