River Alt
The River Alt is an urban river that flows across Merseyside in England. The river has suffered from heavy pollution from industry and sewage upstream and run-off from farmland in its lower reaches. It empties into the River Mersey, near to where the Mersey itself flows into the Irish Sea. The river has benefited from clean-up schemes and a de-culverting process to improve its water quality and provide a better environment for wildlife. Etymology The river's name might be of Latin origin (meaning ''muddy river'') but the banks of the river are lined by villages and places with names of Old Norse derivation. The name ''Alt'' could also be derived from Brittonic ''alt'', which can either mean 'cliff' or as is more likely in this case, 'burn, mountain stream' ( Welsh allt, Irish ''ált''). Thirdly, the obscure Celtic element ''*al-'', suffixed with the Brittonic nominal suffix ''-ed'' may underlie this name. Route The Alt runs from Hag Plantation in Huyton at , through Croxte ...

International Conference On Algorithmic Learning Theory
Algorithmic learning theory is a mathematical framework for analyzing machine learning problems and algorithms. Synonyms include formal learning theory and algorithmic inductive inference. Algorithmic learning theory is different from statistical learning theory in that it does not make use of statistical assumptions and analysis. Both algorithmic and statistical learning theory are concerned with machine learning and can thus be viewed as branches of computational learning theory. Distinguishing characteristics Unlike statistical learning theory and most statistical theory in general, algorithmic learning theory does not assume that data are random samples, that is, that data points are independent of each other. This makes the theory suitable for domains where observations are (relatively) noise-free but not random, such as language learning and automated scientific discovery. The fundamental concept of algorithmic learning theory is learning in the limit: as the number of da ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
