Pointers to the Literature

A comprehensive survey of machine learning techniques is proposed by [van Lamsweerde 91]. In this more practical field, there are conferences such as ICML International Conference on Machine Learning), ECML European Conference on Machine Learning, formerly EWSL European Working Session on Learning), and the various artificial intelligence conferences. Journals for machine learning results are basically the same as above. 

The next two sections survey the synthesis of functional programs from examples, and the synthesis of logic programs from examples, respectively.

A compact aud readable iutroductiou to Moute Carlo, with examples aud exercises, plus useful pointers to the literature on lattice models. 

We shall find it simpler in many of the examples of this section to consider the product descent off the barrier away from the transition state rather than the reactant climb toward the transition state. These two processes, in equilibrium systems, are time reversals of each other, for the forward and backward reaction pair. In what follows, we do not claim to present a complete catalog of all the studies that have been done in this area rather, we will give the interested reader a sample of the interaction between theory and simulation and provide some pointers to the literature. 

Section 3.2.4, we define the niche of algorithm synthesis from examples within empirical learning from examples, and give pointers to the literature in Section 3.2.5. 

The next operation is then to enter the data, namely the variable names and for each variable its nominal and extreme value. This is done by moving the pointer to the correct column and typing them in. As an example we shall input data for 7 variables from the literature (ref. 5). After typing the labels and 2 values for each variable (see Table 2.3) the LOTUS display should be as shown in Figure 2.6. One has not obtained the table of values to be used in the experimental design, which is the first step of the ruggedness procedure, but just the ordinary table of data. 

This document is organised in the following way. Section 2 describes modelling approach and provides pointers to the relevant literature involved in the method. Section 3 introduces a simple case for study where the effects of localised damages in the coating along the pipeline can be detected. Section 4... 

The literature contained two studies concerned with biochemical profile techniques—those of Byran et al. (Bl) and Young and Drake (Yl). These studies, although giving pointers to the answers to these questions, did not, for a variety of reasons, fully answer the questions we had posed. In addition, they were carried out in a medical setting different from that experienced in this country. 

There have been several reviews of metabonomics and metabolomics recently that describe the various techniques used and that summarize the main areas of application. These provide more detail than can be given here and serve to act as pointers to the original literature studies [8-11]. 

In this section we select, inevitably rather arbiharily, four herbal cough treatments for which the effectiveness and mechanisms have been studied. With many other herbs there are a few pointers in the literature that the herb may be objectively considered an effective antitussive in humans, but the evidence is so thin as to be unconvincing (Table 1). In some instances, research only on animals or animal preparations has been done. 

In this last introductory section to automatic programming, we list a few requirements for research in program synthesis, and outline the promises of this research. Finally, pointers to introductory literature are given. 

There are warnings in some religious literature 128 not to take the words literally, to use them only as pointers of the direction experience must go, but our culture is so fascinated with words that we seldom heed such warnings. 

ChemSpider currently searches over 14 million compounds in multiple chemical structure databases. These include databases of curated literature data, chemical vendor catalogs, molecular properties, enviromnental data, toxicity data, analytical data, and so on. ChemSpider intends to aggregate into a single database all chemical structures available within open access and commercial databases and to provide the necessary pointers from the ChemSpider search engine to the information of interest. This service will allow users to either access the data immediately via open-access links or have the information necessary to continue their searches into commercially available systems. 

Since nuclear astrophysics is not usually taught at the master s level nuclear physics specialization in our universities, these lecture notes are meant to be an introduction to the subject and a pointer to literature and Internet resources5. The emphasis in the first part of these lecture notes is on the nuclear reactions in the stars and how these are calculated, rather than how stars evolve. The latter usually forms a core area of stellar astrophysics. 

Also, reviews of the current state of the art in the application of evolutionary methods to problems of interest to computational chemists have been compiled. In this article, we provide an overview of GAs, how to develop and implement them, elaborating on conunon practices across applications. We also discuss two applications to problems of relevance to computational chemistry in some detail. The article attempts to provide the reader with a primer in GAs from an application point of view and pointers to areas in the literature for other extensions, when appropriate. This article is not meant to be a review. The reader interested in a comprehensive review of past and current research in GA applications, is referred to Genetic and Evolutionary Algorithms. 

Secondly, chemical IR may be thought of as a specialized index into the scientific and patent literature, with the chemical structure representing an extremely condensed abstract of the journal article or patent document. In this sense, the structures are not stored for their intrinsic interest, but as pointers to other documents, some of which, for example, may be related to their synthesis, physicochemical properties and numeric data, or applications. This is the sense in which a few data vendors supply chemical and reaction databases (Derwent and Institute for Scientific Information), and the alternate sense in which the CAS databases may be used. The use of CIR systems in synthesis design - providing access, for example, to databases of reagents or starting materials, or of name reactions - provides a crucial tool for the contemporary chemical and pharmaceutical industry.
