Learning Kernel Classifiers: Theory and Algorithms, Introduction This chapter introduces the general problem of machine learning and how it relates to statistical inference. 1.1 The Learning Problem and (Statistical) Inference It was only a few years after the introduction of the first computer that one of man’s greatest dreams seemed to be realizable—artificial intelligence. Bearing in mind that in the early days the most powerful computers had much less computational power than a cell phone today, it comes as no surprise that much theoretical research on the potential of machines’ capabilities to learn took place at this time. This becomes a computational problem as soon as the dataset gets larger than a few hundred examples.
This the third edition of the Writing Device Drivers articles. The first article helped to simply get you acquainted with device drivers and a simple framework for developing a device driver for NT. The second tutorial attempted to show to use IOCTLs and display what the memory layout of Windows NT is. In this edition, we will go into the idea of contexts and pools. The driver we write today will also be a little more interesting as it will allow two user mode applications to communicate with each other in a simple manner. We will call this the “poor man’s pipes” implementation.

OTSU Gray-level image segmentation using Otsu s method.
Iseg = OTSU(I,n) computes a segmented image (Iseg) containing n classes
by means of Otsu s n-thresholding method (Otsu N, A Threshold Selection
Method from Gray-Level Histograms, IEEE Trans. Syst. Man Cybern.
9:62-66 1979). Thresholds are computed to maximize a separability
criterion of the resultant classes in gray levels.
OTSU(I) is equivalent to OTSU(I,2). By default, n=2 and the
corresponding Iseg is therefore a binary image. The pixel values for
Iseg are [0 1] if n=2, [0 0.5 1] if n=3, [0 0.333 0.666 1] if n=4, ...
[Iseg,sep] = OTSU(I,n) returns the value (sep) of the separability
criterion within the range [0 1]. Zero is obtained only with images
having less than n gray level, whereas one (optimal value) is obtained
only with n-valued images.
