TIKHONOV OR LASSO REGULARIZATION: WHICH IS BETTER AND WHEN. IN TOOLS WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

pages 795–802. IEEE, 2013. It is well known that supervised learning problems with ℓ1 (Lasso) and ℓ2 (Tikhonov or Ridge) regularizers will result in very different solutions. For example, the ℓ1 solution vector will be sparser and can potentially be used both for prediction and feature selection. However, given a data set it is often hard to determine

OWNERSHIP CONCENTRATION, INDUSTRIAL COMPETITION AND INFORMATION ASYMMETRY

Managers and major shareholders typically have an information advantage over outside investors when trading a company’s shares. Numerous studies have been done into the relation between ownership concentration, industry competition and information asymmetry, but rarely using Australian data. The output of this study is particularly relevant for regulators, as it examines conditions that might limit

LOCATION INDICATIVE WORDS AND HOW TO FIND THEM

Speaker: Bo Han (RedMarker/Kaplan Professional) Seminar Date: Tuesday November 28 12:00pm Brief abstract: Social media has become a gold mine of insights into the people, opinions and events. However, this massive amount of data also challenges the efficiency and effectiveness of existing machine learning algorithms. One way to approach this problem is “divide-and-conquer”. You can partition the data into

AN INTRODUCTION TO ACTIVE LEARNING, AND ITS APPLICATION TO BUSINESS COACHING

Speaker: Tom Osborn Seminar Date: Tuesday November 21 12:00pm Brief abstract: Active learning is a branch of semi-supervised machine learning for domains where data is expensive and where precise understanding is critical. Traditionally, active learning builds a model of a domain with a trade-off between exploration and exploitation probing of a domain to generate labelled data usefully. Earlier applications

GAMING IN FUTURES MARKET SUGGESTS MODEL COULD BE IMPROVED?

Evidence from UK interest rate futures market reveals that traders have been “drowning” the market with oversized orders, increasing their allocation under a pure pro-rata matching algorithm. The 2007 introduction of a time element to the order matching mechanism has modified the behaviour of traders. No longer is the order book drowned with orders which
