WHEN:          1-2pm, Friday, 29  May, 1992

ABSTRACT:      Chromatography  is  a  chemical   method   of
               separating  and  quantifying  the  components
               which make up a mixture. It  is  a  multifac-
               torial  method  and  the  current theoretical
               hypotheses available do not fully explain the
               technique.   Its   use  is  therefore  highly
               skilled and involves a high level  of  exper-
               tise.  Over  the past few years a database of
               published methodology was compiled, recording
               information  on the sample and the instrumen-
               tation. My goal is to utilise  this  tome  of
               knowledge to build an expert system.

               A simple analogy can  be  drawn  between  the
               chromatographic  deconvolution  of components
               in a mixture and the deconvolution of a  col-
               lection  of  methods  (attributes) into their
               various  classes.  The  method  employed   to
               deconvolute  the data is Quinlans C4.5 induc-
               tion algorithm. Some early evaluation results
               are presented.

WHERE:         Rm 212, Samuel Building,  University  of  New
               South Wales. Enter off Botany Street, stop at
               gate and  ask  grey  men  for  day  pass  and
               instructions.  Park  in  the main car park on
               your left.  The Samuels bulding is  the  gray
               building   directly  behind  the  gates  with
               strange shield-like objects over the windows.
