Dear All, We are pleased to inform you that our paper has been accepted at IC4E2011, Mumbai conference.We plan to submit the extended version for journal publication soon.
We present an abstract of our paper. The proceedings will appear in IEEE conference proceedings soon. =================== Law of Connectivity in Machine Learning Aim: - We present a new law in the field of machine learning. We believe that there is always a connection present between two entities. We state that for any scenario, a subject entity is always, directly or indirectly,connected and affected by single or multiple independent / dependent entities, and their impact on the subject entity is dependent on various factors falling into the following categories:- 1. Existence of entity 2. Inner state of the entity 3. External state of the entity 4. State of communication of the entity. We can present the above law in the following manner:- Distance (En) = f(X) = n=0∫∞ {E (n-1) <--->E (n) } > 0 where E (n), E (n-1) > 0 and E is the entity (with index ‘i’) attributes (mentioned above) which are involved in the interaction. We postulate that the required attributes may be added further, depending upon the requirements of the learning algorithms, besides the one shown above. Thus, we measure them as Ei in the above equation. We further derive the equation to be:- Distance (En) = f(X) = n=0∫∞ (E (n) / E (n-1)) * (E (n-1) / E (n-2)) ……. * (E (1) / E (0)) Thus, En > 0 and 1 > Ei > 0. A value of 0 defines that the interaction is not possible due to the entity’s inability to pursue the interaction. Again, the value can never been 1 as there is always some disturbance or obstacle that will hinder the interaction. Again, the measurement is probabilistic and En > 0 and En < 1. Where En is the intended initiator and E0 is the intended recipient of the interaction. The entities considered in the interaction depend on the path that is chosen for learning and considering this interaction. The initia tor may a take a mirror and look at the image of the recipient, or talk to that person over the phone or even go personally to meet the recipient. Every path chosen, depending on the learning algorithm, will profoundly impact the selection of entities and thus decide the quality and time of the interaction. The number of entities varies in any learning scenario and thus plays an important role in the quality of interaction. This law will make the foundation of neural networks, decision tree based techniques and other learning algorithms. This law will allow the implementation of long as well as facilitate deeper investigations of networks in learning models. Since any model is prone to connection with some other entity, it has to decide whether it wants to connect or not. This decision decides whether the interaction will happen or not. The absence of interaction between two entities means that the path to connect the entities is being ignored or difficult to follow. However, we postulate that the connection path always exists but the abil ity of the entities to become aware and use the connection is what is missing. The latter decides the scenario and the scope of the interaction too.
