         ACS NSW AISIG - Artificial Intelligence - Monthly Meeting

Date:     Wednesday 25th July 2001.

Time:     6:30pm till 8:00pm & dinner afterwards.

Topic:     TClass: A supervised, comprehensible concept learner for 
                              multivariate time series

 TClass is a learner specifically designed for application to 
 supervised temporal domains.  As such, it eschews the more 
 traditional attribute-value format. Rather, each instance is 
 represented as a multivariate time series.  The objective is 
 to learn to classify different types of time series and to
 produce comprehensible descriptions of learnt concepts.
 Typical (and tested) application domains include: sign language 
 recogniton, ECG classification and isolated word recognition. 
 Its key novel contributions are that it produces human-readable 
 definitions, high levels of accuracy and good data efficiency 
 (learnt concepts require fewer training examples than traditional 
 techniques to produce high levels of accuracy).
