A message from the ECHORD coordinator Alois Knoll

During the last two months the consortium has been performing further real world experiments with the first application of learning methods. Further work on our simulations and evaluations of those has been performed. 1) A new sampling strategy was developed and implemented. We used the new method to do an analysis for the...
