A Sparsity-Based Training Algorithm For Least Squares Svm, Jie Yang, Jun Ma
A Sparsity-Based Training Algorithm For Least Squares Svm, Jie Yang, Jun Ma
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
We address the training problem of the sparse Least Squares Support Vector Machines (SVM) using compressed sensing. The proposed algorithm regards the support vectors as a dictionary and selects the important ones that minimize the residual output error iteratively. A measurement matrix is also introduced to reduce the computational cost. The main advantage is that the proposed algorithm performs model training and support vector selection simultaneously. The performance of the proposed algorithm is tested with several benchmark classification problems in terms of number of selected support vectors and size of the measurement matrix. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm …

Background Nutrition screening in older adults is not routinely performed in Australian primary care settings. Low awareness of the extent of malnutrition in this patient group, lack of training and time constraints are major barriers that practice staff face. This study aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of including a validated nutrition screening tool and accompanying nutrition resource kit for use with older patients attending general practice. Secondary aims were to assess nutrition-related knowledge of staff and to identify the extent of malnutrition in this patient group. Methods Nine general practitioners, two general practice registrars and 11 practice nurses from three …
Training Laboratory: Using Online Resources To Enhance The Laboratory Learning Experience, Sasha Nikolic
Training Laboratory: Using Online Resources To Enhance The Laboratory Learning Experience, Sasha Nikolic
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
2014 IEEE. Technology has enabled students to search and utilize information from a diverse range of sources. One mechanism that students turn to for additional resources is the internet. This paper explores student interaction with an internet resource, called the Training Laboratory. This resource has multiple uses, including: 1) the training of laboratory teaching assistants; 2) providing students an opportunity to develop pre-requisite laboratory skills; 3) reduce the workload of developing resources when designing laboratory notes; 4) reduce the duplication of learning fundamental laboratory skills in multiple subjects; 5) provide a means to share resources to satellite campuses; and, 6) …

This article provides a case study of a project to improve the health, safety, and development of children birth to 6 years old in a large orphanage in Nepal. Two interventions were conducted: improvement of physical infrastructure and training, mentoring, and support for caregiving staff. As a result of these interventions, positive outcomes in terms of children's health and development have been observed, including reduction of communicable diseases and increased social interactions with caregivers. As part of the new training initiative, the caregivers began to meet regularly to share their ideas and experiences, and came to realize their vital role …

Police officers encounter people with mental illnesses every day, whether they are perpetrators, victims, or witnesses of crime. In 2013 alone, NSW police responded to more than 40,000 mental health incidents; while in Victoria, the police apprehend one person every two hours and take them to hospital for assessment
