| Research Abstract |
This project aimed at developing machine discovery systems based upon firm theoretical foundations of machine learning algorithms. In this project we have focused our attention specially on (1) computational logic of machine discovery, (2) knowledge representation for machine discovery, (3) machine discovery by PAC learning, (4) machine discovery in databases, and (5) making machine discovery algorithms parallel.
First we have developed a logic of machine discovery compared with the logic of scientific discovery by K.Popper. We have made it clear that the essential of machine discovery is to be able to refute the hypothesis space itself by some observed facts, and showed that there are such rich hypothesis spaces in the framework of the elementary formal systems. Since scientific data are mostly numerical, we have studied representation of real numbers and real-valued functions in terms of recursive reals and interval analysis, and developed a method of identifying differential equations.
We have extended our results on the logic of machine discovery to the PAC learning, which can cope with probably approximately correct hypotheses.
Concerning the machine discovery in database, we have developed a machine discovery system based upon a decision trees over regular patterns called BONSAI,made it parallel, and also developed a prediction system for some domains in amino acid sequences. We have also made some experiments on the field of molecular biology, and got very successful results.
