An transfer learning method, called Kernel Canonical Correlation Analysis plus (KCCA+), is proposed for heterogeneous Crosscompany defect prediction. Combining the kernel method and transfer learning techniques, this method improves the performance of the predictor with more adaptive ability in nonlinearly separable scenarios. Experiments validate its effectiveness. key words: machine learning,...

Recent research suggests that combining adaptive learning algorithms with perceptual learning (PL) methods can accelerate perceptual classification learning in complex domains (e.g., Mettler & Kellman, 2014). We hypothesized that passive presentation of category exemplars might act synergistically with active adaptive learning to further enhance PL. Passive presentation and active adaptive meth...

In the feed forward Active Noise Control system (ANC) with secondary path modelling there are two important requirements to be satisfied. The first is that an accurate estimate of ) (z S should be produced, regardless of the controller transfer function ) (z W . This independence property will ensure that the overall ANC system is robust. The second requirement is that the adaptive filter ) ( ˆ...

In an attempt to reduce the high computational efforts for dynamic thermal simulations using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) the authors have recently developed an adaptive freeze-flow method (i.e. freezing of flow equations over variable time periods). This paper documents the work that has been carried out to predict the radiative surface heat transfer in dynamic thermal building processes...

High speed bulk data transfer is an important part of many data-intensive scientific applications. TCP fails for the transfer of large amounts of data over long distance across high-speed dedicated network links. Due to system hardware is incapable of saturating the bandwidths supported by the network and rise buffer overflow and packet-loss in the system. To overcome this there is a necessity ...

In this paper we present the concept of adaptive expertise and relate this concept to the design curriculum offered by the Institute for Design Engineering and Applications (IDEA) at Northwestern University. The model of adaptive expertise suggests that instruction and assessment include a balance of “efficiency” and “innovation”. These two dimensions are first described from a theoretical pers...
