Towards Reliable Learning for High Stakes Applications

Towards Reliable OSGi Operating Framework and Applications

Upcoming ubiquitous computing systems are required to operate in dynamic, diverse, unverified, and unpredictable operating environment. The OSGi (Open Service Gateway initiative) framework employs the service-oriented approach and the Java ClassLoader architecture for the runtime service deployment, that are well suited to the dynamic environment envisioned for home networking and ubiquitous co...

High-Stakes Interpretation

High-Stakes Testing

I review the literature on the impact on student achievement of high-stakes testing. Its popularity as a mechanism for holding educators accountable has triggered studies to examine whether its promise to increase student learning has been fulfilled. The review concludes there is no consistent evidence to suggest high-stakes testing leads to increases in student learning. Some evidence suggests...

Conformal Prediction for Reliable Machine Learning: Theory, Adaptations, and Applications

An appealing property of conformal predictors is their automatic validity under the exchangeability assumption: they make an error with probability not exceeding the prespecified significance level. A major focus of this chapter will be on conditional versions of the notion of validity. This requirement will be introduced in Section 2.1 and studied further in Sections 2.2, 2.4, 2.6, and 2.7. Ot...
