Traditional machine learning methods (like Naïve Bayes and Latent Dirichlet Allocation) only consider relationships between feature values within individual data instances while disregarding the dependencies that link features across instances. My group at DIMA Cs has developed Higher Order Learning—a general approach to supervised learning that leverages higher-order dependencies between features across instances. Higher Order Learning has been shown to outperform traditional machine learning techniques in multiple accounts. This talk will focus on two Higher Order Learning methods: Higher Order Naïve Bayes (HONB) and Higher Order Latent Dirichlet Allocation (HOLDA). More specifically, my group has been interested in applications of HONB and HOLDA to situations concerning national security and emergency response. Some examples of this include nuclear detection and classification of needs during an emergency using crowdsourced data from social media and text messages.
