Research Abstract

Computational principals on how parts and wholes cooperate and conflict are investigated from the view point of computation theory. Among the results obtained in this project there are followings which we consider important :
1. Using G-entropy, introduced in our paper, we develop an efficient boosting algorithm which is designed by using the top-down decision tree learning algorithm with its splitting criterion based on the G-entropy.
2. The problem of dynamically apportioning resources among a set of options in a worst-case online framework is investigated by introducing information on how high the risk of each option is. We apply the Aggregating Algorithm to this problem and give a tight performance bound.
3. We propose three methods of random projection which randomly maps data represented as vectors to a low dimensional space so that the margin is approximately preserved. Our algorithm turns out to be more efficient than the well known random projection method based on the Johnson-Lindenstrauss Lemma.
4. We derive a superpolynomial lower bound on the size of Boolean circuits that compute the clique function with *(loglog n) negation gates.
5. We show that a single variable function f(x)=x_j has the minimum correlation with the majority function among all fair functions, where the correlation between Boolean functions f and g is defined to be 1-2Pr[f(x)≠g(x)], and a Boolean function f is defined to be fair if Pr[f(x)=1]=1/2.
