Working Knowledge
, 1998
"... While knowledge is viewed by many as an asset, it is often difficult to locate particular items within a large electronic corpus. This paper presents an agent based framework for the location of resources to resolve a specific query, and considers the associated design issue. Aspects of the work ..."

How Iris Recognition Works
, 2003
"... Algorithms developed by the author for recogniz-ing persons by their iris patterns have now been tested in six field and laboratory trials, producing no false matches in several million comparison tests. The recognition principle is the failure of a test of statis-tical independence on iris phase st ..."

The Construct of Resilience: A Critical Evaluation and Guidelines for Future Work.
- Child Development,
, 2000
"... This paper presents a critical appraisal of resilience, a construct connoting the maintenance of positive adaptation by individuals despite experiences of significant adversity. As empirical research on resilience has burgeoned in recent years, criticisms have been levied at work in this area. Thes ..."

Motivation through the Design of Work: Test of a Theory. Organizational Behavior and Human Performance,
, 1976
"... A model is proposed that specifies the conditions under which individuals will become internally motivated to perform effectively on their jobs. The model focuses on the interaction among three classes of variables: (a) the psychological states of employees that must be present for internally motiv ..."

of changes that have been completed. For these reasons, the major value of socio-technical systems theory appears to be its considerable usefulness as a way of thinking about work systems and their redesign. In its present form, it has only limited use in generating new understanding through quantitative
Selection of relevant features and examples in machine learning
- ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
, 1997
"... In this survey, we review work in machine learning on methods for handling data sets containing large amounts of irrelevant information. We focus on two key issues: the problem of selecting relevant features, and the problem of selecting relevant examples. We describe the advances that have been mad ..."

made on these topics in both empirical and theoretical work in machine learning, and we present a general framework that we use to compare different methods. We close with some challenges for future work in this area.
A Fast Algorithm for Particle Simulations
, 1987
"... this paper to the case where the potential (or force) at a point is a sum of pairwise An algorithm is presented for the rapid evaluation of the potential and force fields in systems involving large numbers of particles interactions. More specifically, we consider potentials of whose interactions a ..."

Rough Sets.
- Int. J. of Information and Computer Sciences
, 1982
"... Abstract. This article presents some general remarks on rough sets and their place in general picture of research on vagueness and uncertainty -concepts of utmost interest, for many years, for philosophers, mathematicians, logicians and recently also for computer scientists and engineers particular ..."

particularly those working in such areas as AI, computational intelligence, intelligent systems, cognitive science, data mining and machine learning. Thus this article is intended to present some philosophical observations rather than to consider technical details or applications of rough set theory. Therefore
Multitask Learning,”
, 1997
"... Abstract. Multitask Learning is an approach to inductive transfer that improves generalization by using the domain information contained in the training signals of related tasks as an inductive bias. It does this by learning tasks in parallel while using a shared representation; what is learned for ..."

for each task can help other tasks be learned better. This paper reviews prior work on MTL, presents new evidence that MTL in backprop nets discovers task relatedness without the need of supervisory signals, and presents new results for MTL with k-nearest neighbor and kernel regression. In this paper we
Nested Transactions: An Approach to Reliable Distributed Computing

A theory of type polymorphism in programming
- Journal of Computer and System Sciences
, 1978
"... The aim of this work is largely a practical one. A widely employed style of programming, particularly in structure-processing languages which impose no discipline of types, entails defining procedures which work well on objects of a wide variety. We present a formal type discipline for such polymorp ..."
