objectives: new cognitive theories of delusions have proposed that deficit or bias in inference stage (a stage of normal belief formation) is significant in delusion formation. the aim of this study was predicting the severity of delusions based on jumping-to-conclusion bias in patients with schizophrenia. methods: the sample consisted of 60 deluded patients with schizophrenia who were selected...

Similarity-based method gives rise to a new class of methods for multi-label learning and also achieves promising performance. In this paper, we generalize method, resulting in framework classification task. Specifically, unite similarity-based generalized linear models achieve the best both worlds. This allows us capture interdependencies between classes prevent from impairing performance nois...

I would like to acknowledge and thank Professor Gail Murphy (UBC) for her thoughts and guidance.

The right measure of similarity between examples is important in many areas of computer science. In particular it is a critical component in example-based learning methods. Similarity is commonly defined in terms of a conventional distance function, but such a definition does not necessarily capture the inherent meaning of similarity, which tends to depend on the underlying task. We develop an ...
