Right, I got it wrong. I was confused with the "result" is not the target here. Thanks Soren On Mon, Jan 11, 2016 at 5:32 AM, Dominic Laflamme wrote: > Thanks Joel and Sören, > Joel, I've been reading up on Structure Learning off the pystruct project > documentation. It seems to describe my prob

Thanks Joel and Sören, Joel, I've been reading up on Structure Learning off the pystruct project documentation. It seems to describe my problem exactly. Thanks! Dominic On Sun, Jan 10, 2016 at 9:29 PM, Joel Nothman wrote: > I think you've misunderstood this one, Sören. This sounds like it is

I think you've misunderstood this one, Sören. This sounds like it is a structured learning problem, where the steps are the "target" of the learning task, and the result is the input example. Take, for instance, the natural language processing task of dependency parsing. The "result" of some late

Sounds like a classification problem. You can try to see the steps as features and use classification methods e.g. decision tree to train a model. But it depends on what "reconstruct the steps" and "result" means. Sören On 01/09/2016 06:32 AM, Dominic Laflamme wrote: First I'd like to apologiz

First I'd like to apologize in advanced for the "noobiness" nature of my question... I'd like to get some early guidance into which path I should take to help me solve a problem using machine learning. The goal would be to use machine learning to "reconstruct the steps" needed to take in order to
