An adaptive model for learning molecular endpoints

Authors: Ian Walsh, Alessandro Vullo, and Gianluca Pollastri


Abstract
I will describe a recursive neural network that deals with undirected graphs, and its application to predicting property labels or activity values of small molecules. The model is entirely general, in that it can process any undirected graph with a finite number of nodes by factorising it into a number of directed graphs with the same skeleton. The model's only input in the applications I will present is the graph representing the chemical structure of the molecule. In spite of its simplicity, the model outperforms or matches the state of the art in three of the four tasks, and in the fourth is outperformed only by a method resorting to a very problem-specific feature.

Analysis of Robust Soft Learning Vector Quantization and an application to Facial Expression Recognition

Authors: Gert-Jan de Vries and Michael Biehl


Abstract
Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) is a popular method for multiclass classification. Several variants of LVQ have been developed recently, of which Robust Soft Learning Vector Quantization (RSLVQ) is a promising one. Although LVQ methods have an intuitive design with clear updating rules, their dynamics are not yet well understood. In simulations within a controlled environment RSLVQ performed very close to optimal. This controlled environment enabled us to perform a mathematical analysis as a first step in obtaining a better theoretical understanding of the learning dynamics. In this talk I will discuss the theoretical analysis and its results. Moreover, I will focus on the practical application of RSLVQ to a real world dataset containing extracted features from facial expression data.

Estimating Time Delay in Gravitationally Lensed Fluxes

Authors: Peter Tino, Juan C. Cuevas-Tello, and Somak Raychaudhury


Abstract
We study the problem of estimating the time delay between two signals representing delayed, irregularly sampled and noisy versions of the same underlying pattern. We propose a kernel-based technique in the context of an astronomical problem, namely estimating the time delay between two gravitationally lensed signals from a distant quasar. We test the algorithm on several artificial data sets, and also on real astronomical observations. By carrying out a statistical analysis of the results we present a detailed comparison of our method with the most popular methods for time delay estimation in astrophysics. Our method yields more accurate and more stable time delay estimates. Our methodology can be readily applied to current state-of-the-art optical monitoring data in astronomy, but can also be applied in other disciplines involving similar time series data.
