Practical quantitative lithic use-wear analysis using multiple classifiers

Lithic Analysis Seminar

This course is intended to provide an in-depth introduction to contemporary methods in lithic analysis, with a special application to the Middle Paleolithic. Most of the readings, as well as my lectures will be in English, and therefore a good passive knowledge of English is required, but you will have the option to complete your written assignments and oral presentation in German. The readings...

Question Classification using Multiple Classifiers

The Open-domain Question Answering system (QA) has been attached great attention for its capacity of providing compact and precise results for sers. The question classification is an essential part in the system, affecting the accuracy of it. The paper studies question classification through machine learning approaches, namely, different classifiers and multiple classifier combination method. B...

Multiple quantitative trait analysis using bayesian networks.

Models for genome-wide prediction and association studies usually target a single phenotypic trait. However, in animal and plant genetics it is common to record information on multiple phenotypes for each individual that will be genotyped. Modeling traits individually disregards the fact that they are most likely associated due to pleiotropy and shared biological basis, thus providing only a pa...

Children in Archaeological Lithic Analysis

One assumption that persists in the field of archaeology is that it is easier to observe children within historic sites through toys or burials than it is to observe children within a prehistoric setting through lithic production. The purpose of this paper is to examine the current position of children within the prehistoric archaeological literature and to provide case studies of research that...
