  Feedback Summary
Feedback is observed or used in various areas dealing with complex systems, such as engineering, architecture, economics, and biology.
Feedback is usually bipolar—that is, positive and negative—in natural environments, which, in their diversity, furnish synergic and antagonistic responses to the output of any system[2].
Feedback is also central to the operations of genes and gene regulatory networks.

 Feedback - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The processing and control of feedback is engineered into many electronic devices and may also be embedded in other technologies.
For example, in an organism, most positive feedbacks provide for fast autoexcitation of elements of endocrine and nervous systems (in particular, in stress responses conditions) and play a key role in regulation of morphogenesis, growth, and development of organs, all processes which are in essence a rapid escape from the initial state.
In zymology, feedback serves as regulation of activity of an enzyme by its direct product(s) or downstream metabolite(s) in the metabolic pathway (see Allosteric regulation).

 UW-Madison Computer Sciences Department Event/Seminar Abstract
The goal is to disambiguate or classify an ambiguous natural language object in context.
For syntactic disambiguation, I present a novel representation of parse trees that connects the words of the sentence with the hidden syntactic structure in a direct way and leads to natural definition of tree kernels via convolution of string kernels.
For disambiguation of the semantic role structure of verbs, I describe a model that captures regularities of the label space and incorporates the knowledge that the semantic frame of a verb is a joint structure with strong dependencies between arguments.

 feedback
Jump to: navigation, search For other uses, including Audio feedback, see Feedback (disambiguation) In cybernetics and control theory, feedback is a process whereby some proportion or in general, function, of the output signal of a system is passed (fed back) to the input.
Feedback is observed or used in various areas dealing with complex systems, such as engineering, architecture, economics, and biology.
Feedback can be positive, negative or neutral; reinforcement is either positive (increases the response) or negative (decreases the response).

The most common implementation of relevance feedback was to modify the query by adding some words from relevant documents.
There were few comparisons of term expansion (or feedback) compared to no expansion in the same system.
Feedback improvements were somewhat smaller than expected based on experiments with smaller test collections.

 ASIS MY98, Kulyukin, Discussion
Typically, relevance feedback techniques require multiple retrieval interactions, each of which asks the client to state which of the retrieved results are relevant to the submitted question and which are not (Aalbersberg, 1992).
Another line of relevance feedback research is aimed at modifying the term weights in the document vectors (Ide and Salton, 1971; Brauen, 1971).
Although no explicit disambiguation is done, the WordNet-based term weight metric in Equation 2 decreases the weight of polysemantic words.

 Brown CS: Thesis Defense
This thesis demonstrates that the burden of collecting a large number of examples may be supplanted with algorithms that learn from readily available inputs that are ambiguous.
We present a statistical learning theoretic framework for learning from ambiguous examples that is based on a novel formalization of disambiguation consistency.
Using this principle, disambiguation and learning are jointly formulated as a non-convex maximum-margin problem.

 On-Topic Analysis - Online Discovery of On-Topic Terms
Relevance feedback -developed in the 70's and 80's- is hard to implement by average Web users (1).
In relevance feedback, the user submits a query and examines the top N ranked documents (typically the top 1 - 30 results), marks those considered relevant and non-relevant, and selects those considered important based on term occurrences (frequencies) in the relevant documents and in the non-relevant documents (1).
An alternative to relevance feedback, query expansion, segmentation, or thesaurus-based structures could be the use of pre-qualified lists of terms.

Disambiguation has the potential to be a major problem for speech recognition systems.
Since many English words have multiple meanings, there is a need to disambiguate the words to determine user intent and respond correctly.
Through the use of rules and user feedback, the disambiguation problem can be resolved.

Disambiguation may be accomplished by lowering a classification confidence threshold, by changing the viewpoint (selective attention), by adjusting the feature extraction parameters, or by recursively requesting disambiguation by a previous Concept Module.
If disambiguation is not successful within some prescribed limits of confidence and/or time, then the ALISA engine will query the user to label the class of the “unknown” object, thus initiating the process of new class discovery.
Iterative cycles of feedforward and feedback for disambiguation are responsible for the contemplative delays we humans experience as we try to figure out the meaning of a complex scene in our field of vision [Hoffman98].

 Unsupervised Word Sense Disambiguation Rivaling Supervised Methods - Yarowsky (ResearchIndex)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
Abstract: This paper presents an unsupervised learning algorithm for sense disambiguation that, when trained on unannotated English text, rivals the performance of supervised techniques that require time-consuming hand annotations.
The algorithm is based on two powerful constraints -- that words tend to have one sense per discourse and one sense per collocation -- exploited in an iterative bootstrapping procedure.

Feedback is often given as one of the benefits of Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL).
The idea that learners can receive immediate feedback on their errors in a non-threatening environment as often as they like seems to make good pedagogical sense.
The basic idea is that we manually or automatically mark-up raw text with (a few) constituent structure boundaries which are respected by the parser so that any resulting parse of the text will contain the manually or automatically inserted constituent structure(s).

Moreover, because the total quantity of heard speech is large, and spoken language provides superior cues for meaning acquisition, such as perceptual correlates, pragmatic context, gestures, and outright feedback and disambiguation interactions, almost all of the words encountered in spoken language must have been well learned by the middle of primary school.
The sentence representation has correctly caught the drift, but the single averaged vector representation for the word fly, which falls close to midway between airplane and insect and is nearly orthogonal to any of the other words, is useless for establishing the topical focus of the discourse.
On the other interpretation, an additional stage is inserted between these two in which the average meaning for some or all of the words in the passage disambiguates the separate words individually, choosing a set of senses that are then combined.
