Negative example

We cannot yet move onto the actual contract until the declarations or definitions have been made as they will be applied in the contract and this is achieved by clearly stating them, sometimes with negative examples to show what is NOT meant. These terms are set out in alphabetical order so that they can be referred back to by anyone reading the contract to ensure that the statement of terms is internally consistent. 

It s also possible for a value to drop so far that it becomes negative. Example... 

Another negative example was reported to be due to the difference in W03 crystallinity. Higashimoto et al. (2006) studied two systems of TiC>2 coupled with either amorphous or crystalline W03. Their bandgap calculations on the two systems... 

The selection of training data presented to the neural network influences whether or not the network learns a particular task. Some major considerations include the generalization/memorization issue, the partitioning of the training and prediction sets, the quality of data, the ratio of positive and negative examples, and the order of example presentation. 

Let us suggest that for compounds in ES we have values of some targeted molecular property. Expert divides ES into two parts positive and negative examples. Using a constructed estimator we calculate P(C) values and, selecting the threshold value, divide ES into two other parts predicted positive... 

Computationally, it is more convenient to calculate the estimate of prediction accuracy on ES as an Invariant Accuracy IA), which equals 2AUC P) — 1 and can be calculated as a result of comparison of estimates P(C+) for positive and P(C ) for negative examples through all pairs (each positive example and each negative example) in a form ... 

Water quality can have a significant effect on the efficiency and qnahty of textile processing. The effects may be positive or negative. Examples of interferences include the following (Smith, 1987) ... 

When extremely conscientious parents see their only child pushed into unhappiness by these deficiency beliefs, they may urge the boy or girl not to be so hard on himself or herself, even offering themselves as a negative example to avoid. "We ve always put too much pressure on ourselves. Never being satisfied. No room for mistakes. It s not a happy way to be. We can speak from experience. Don t be like us "... 

Quitting and recovering are powerful examples to give a child, but if parents can do neither, they can remind the child Every parent gives a child not one model to follow, hut twohow to be, and how not to be. For the nicotine-dependent parent who wishes he or she could kick the habit but cannot, a forthright admission of this negative example can often have a positive instructional effect. 

Fig. 18.1-4 Supervised methods represent an alternative that can be applied if previous information is available about which genes are expected to be coregulated. In general, supervised methods use a training set in which genes known to be related by function are provided as positive examples and genes not known to be members of that class are negative examples. This training set" is used by the computer program to learn to...

Two additional false-negative examples are described below. The first type, the prozone/high-dose hook effect, may occur in lateral-flow assay and one-step sandwich ELISA, which happens when the target protein is present in a sample at a very high concentration. Both capture and labeled antibodies are fully occupied by existing target protein and fail to form the sandwich complex (i.e., labeled-antibody/target... 

Communal efforts by biological species can be both helpful and detrimental to human exploitation. Make a list of positive and negative examples. 

Learning from examples and practice consists of the extraction and refinement of knowledge from positive and negative examples or from practical experience.
