This paper introduces a new algorithm for the induction of decision trees, based on adaptive techniques. One of the main feature of this algorithm is the application of automata theory to formalize the problem of decision tree induction and the use of a hybrid approach, which integrates both syntactical and statistical strategies. Some experimental results are also presented indicating that the...

In this paper, we probe into the traffic assignment problem by the chromosome-learning-based path finding method in simulation, which is to model the driver' behavior in the with-in-a-day process. By simply making a combination and a change of the traffic route chromosomes, the driver at the intersection chooses his next route. The various crossover and mutation rules are proposed with extensiv...

when emerging technologies such as search engine marketing (sem) face tasks that require human level intelligence, it is inevitable to use the knowledge repositories to endow the machine with the breadth of knowledge available to humans. keyword suggestion for search engine advertising is an important problem for sponsored search and sem that requires a goldmine repository of knowledge. a recen...

In this article we approach one key aspect of the utility problem in explanationbased learning (EBL) | the expensive-rule problem | as an avoidable defect in the learning procedure. In particular, we examine the relationship between the cost of solving a problem without learning versus the cost of using a learned rule to provide the same solution, and refer to a learned rule as expensive if its...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the academic satisfaction and importance among traditional learning (TL) and problem based learning (PBL) medical students, and to further evaluate the areas of concern in the academic education from the student's point of view. METHODS A cross sectional study was conducted at the College of Medicine, King Saud University, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from May to June...
