Introduction: For anyone planning to do research, conference attendance is virtually mandatory for success. Aside from exposing yourself to a large collection of different ideas, many interesting conversations leading to new research happen at conferences. If you are a student, you should plan to go to at least one summer conference. Your advisor should cover the costs.

Introduction: We just finished the Chicago 2005 Machine Learning Summer School . The school was 2 weeks long with about 130 (or 140 counting the speakers) participants. For perspective, this is perhaps the largest graduate level machine learning class I am aware of anywhere and anytime (previous MLSS s have been close). Overall, it seemed to go well, although the students are the real authority on this. For those who missed it, DVDs will be available from our Slovenian friends. Email Mrs Spela Sitar of the Jozsef Stefan Institute for details. The following are some notes for future planning and those interested. Good Decisions Acquiring the larger-than-necessary “Assembly Hall” at International House . Our attendance came in well above our expectations, so this was a critical early decision that made a huge difference. The invited speakers were key. They made a huge difference in the quality of the content. Delegating early and often was important. One key difficulty here

3 0.65711051 357 hunch net-2009-05-30-Many ways to Learn this summer
Introduction: There are at least 3 summer schools related to machine learning this summer. The first is at University of Chicago June 1-11 organized by Misha Belkin , Partha Niyogi , and Steve Smale . Registration is closed for this one, meaning they met their capacity limit. The format is essentially an extended Tutorial/Workshop. I was particularly interested to see Valiant amongst the speakers. I’m also presenting Saturday June 6, on logarithmic time prediction. Praveen Srinivasan points out the second at Peking University in Beijing, China, July 20-27. This one differs substantially, as it is about vision, machine learning, and their intersection. The deadline for applications is June 10 or 15. This is also another example of the growth of research in China, with active support from NSF . The third one is at Cambridge , England, August 29-September 10. It’s in the MLSS series . Compared to the Chicago one, this one is more about the Bayesian side of ML, alth

Introduction: There will be two machine learning summer schools in 2006. One is in Canberra, Australia from February 6 to February 17 (Aussie summer). The webpage is fully ‘live’ so you should actively consider it now. The other is in Taipei, Taiwan from July 24 to August 4. This one is still in the planning phase, but that should be settled soon. Attending an MLSS is probably the quickest and easiest way to bootstrap yourself into a reasonable initial understanding of the field of machine learning.

2 0.27577481 96 hunch net-2005-07-21-Six Months
Introduction: This is the 6 month point in the “run a research blog” experiment, so it seems like a good point to take stock and assess. One fundamental question is: “Is it worth it?” The idea of running a research blog will never become widely popular and useful unless it actually aids research. On the negative side, composing ideas for a post and maintaining a blog takes a significant amount of time. On the positive side, the process might yield better research because there is an opportunity for better, faster feedback implying better, faster thinking. My answer at the moment is a provisional “yes”. Running the blog has been incidentally helpful in several ways: It is sometimes educational. example More often, the process of composing thoughts well enough to post simply aids thinking. This has resulted in a couple solutions to problems of interest (and perhaps more over time). If you really want to solve a problem, letting the world know is helpful. This isn’t necessarily
3 0.19100344 95 hunch net-2005-07-14-What Learning Theory might do
Introduction: I wanted to expand on this post and some of the previous problems/research directions about where learning theory might make large strides. Why theory? The essential reason for theory is “intuition extension”. A very good applied learning person can master some particular application domain yielding the best computer algorithms for solving that problem. A very good theory can take the intuitions discovered by this and other applied learning people and extend them to new domains in a relatively automatic fashion. To do this, we take these basic intuitions and try to find a mathematical model that: Explains the basic intuitions. Makes new testable predictions about how to learn. Succeeds in so learning. This is “intuition extension”: taking what we have learned somewhere else and applying it in new domains. It is fundamentally useful to everyone because it increases the level of automation in solving problems. Where next for learning theory? I like the a
4 0.17743833 341 hunch net-2009-02-04-Optimal Proxy Loss for Classification
Introduction: Many people in machine learning take advantage of the notion of a proxy loss: A loss function which is much easier to optimize computationally than the loss function imposed by the world. A canonical example is when we want to learn a weight vector w and predict according to a dot product f w (x)= sum i w i x i where optimizing squared loss (y-f w (x)) 2 over many samples is much more tractable than optimizing 0-1 loss I(y = Threshold(f w (x) – 0.5)) . While the computational advantages of optimizing a proxy loss are substantial, we are curious: which proxy loss is best? The answer of course depends on what the real loss imposed by the world is. For 0-1 loss classification, there are adherents to many choices: Log loss. If we confine the prediction to [0,1] , we can treat it as a predicted probability that the label is 1 , and measure loss according to log 1/p’(y|x) where p’(y|x) is the predicted probability of the observed label. A standard method for confi
5 0.16436715 12 hunch net-2005-02-03-Learning Theory, by assumption
Introduction: One way to organize learning theory is by assumption (in the assumption = axiom sense ), from no assumptions to many assumptions. As you travel down this list, the statements become stronger, but the scope of applicability decreases. No assumptions Online learning There exist a meta prediction algorithm which compete well with the best element of any set of prediction algorithms. Universal Learning Using a “bias” of 2 - description length of turing machine in learning is equivalent to all other computable biases up to some constant. Reductions The ability to predict well on classification problems is equivalent to the ability to predict well on many other learning problems. Independent and Identically Distributed (IID) Data Performance Prediction Based upon past performance, you can predict future performance. Uniform Convergence Performance prediction works even after choosing classifiers based on the data from large sets of classifiers.
