Finding errors in .net with feedback-directed random testing
2008
Proceedings of the 2008 international symposium on Software testing and analysis - ISSTA '08
We present a case study in which a team of test engineers at Microsoft applied a feedback-directed random testing tool to a critical component of the .NET architecture. ...
Finally, we identify challenges that random testing faces for continued effectiveness, including an observed decrease in the technique's error detection rate over time. • Feedback-directed random test ...
For example, in previous work we described an experiment in which feedback-directed random testing [PLEB07] , a variant of random testing, finds errors in many software libraries while model checking ...

Feedback-Directed Random Test Generation
2007
Proceedings / International Conference of Software Engineering
Our experimental results indicate that feedback-directed random test generation can outperform systematic and undirected random test generation, in terms of coverage and error detection. ...
On 14 large, widely-used libraries (comprising 780KLOC), feedback-directed random test generation finds many previously-unknown errors, not found by either model checking or undirected random generation ...
In terms of error detection, feedback-directed random testing revealed many errors across 14 widely-deployed, well-tested Java and .NET libraries totaling 780KLOC. ...

RANDOOP FOR JAVA generates unit tests for Java code using feedback-directed random test generation. Below we describe RANDOOP's input, output, and test generation algorithm. ...
In [5] we showed that feedback-directed random test generation can outperform both systematic and undirected random test generation, in terms of coverage and error detection. ...
How it works Randoop generates unit tests using feedback-directed random testing, a technique inspired by random testing that uses execution feedback gathered from executing test inputs as they are created ...

Proximity Based Stress Testing and Scenario Construction
2015
Social Science Research Network
In this a paper a non-linear macro-stress testing methodology with focus on early warning is developed. The methodology builds on a variant of Random Forests and its proximity measures. ...
It develops a framework in which naturally defined contagion and feedback effects transfer the impact of stressing a relatively small part of the observations on the whole dataset and thus allow to estimate ...
similar: the average of the average-errors of the estimated dataset is in both cases roughly 30% (31% without feedback, 30% with feedback). ...

Investigating Scopesthesia: Attentional Transitions, Controls and Error Rates in Repeated Tests
2010
Journal of Scientific Exploration
bias—error rates—feedback ...
There were only 3 recording errors in 2,800 trials (0.1%), and two of these cancelled out, leaving a net error rate of 0.04% Keywords: scopesthesia—sense of being stared at—attentional transitions— response ...
A second surprise was that the number of errors in recording the data was so low. The net error rate of 0.04% was negligible. ...

From robotic toil to symbolic theft: Grounding transfer from entry-level to higher-level categories1
2000
Connection science
'symmetric' versus 'asymmetric') can be learned in two very different ways: either (1) directly from the input, just as with the entry-level categories (i.e. by toil); or (2) indirectly, from Boolean combinations ...
Our nets are trained to categorize and name 50 X 50 pixel images (e.g. circles, ellipses, squares and rectangles) projected on to the receptive field of a 7 X 7 retina. ...

Biologically-plausible learning algorithms can scale to large datasets
[article]
2018
arXiv
pre-print
One of the main reasons is that BP requires symmetric weight matrices in the feedforward and feedback pathways. ...
However, a recent study by Bartunov et al. (2018) evaluate variants of target-propagation (TP) and feedback alignment (FA) on MINIST, CIFAR, and ImageNet datasets, and find that although many of the proposed ...
In feedback alignment, the authors propose that the feedforward weights learn to align with the random feedback weights, thereby allowing feedback to provide approximate yet useful learning signals (Lillicrap ...

Motor Learning Enhances Use-Dependent Plasticity
2017
Journal of Neuroscience
We found that providing subjects with a binary reward without visual feedback of the cursor led to increased UDP effects. ...
Subjects in the group that received comparable reward not associated with their actions maintained the previously induced UDP. ...
Note that subjects in the Skill group were significantly more accurate during the training (i.e., low error rate) compared with the Random group. b, Mean movement time for the different groups. ...
