This paper introduces a probabilistic approach to the classification and diagnosis of erroneous rules of operations that result from misconceptions (“bugs”) in a procedural domain of arithmetic. The model is different from the usual deterministic strategies common in the field of artificial intelligence because variability of response errors is explicitly treated through item response theory. As a concrete example, we analyze a dataset that reflects the use of erroneous rules of operation in problems of signed-number subtraction. The same approach, however, is applicable to the classification of several different groups of response patterns caused by a variety of different underlying misconceptions, different backgrounds of knowledge, or treatment.

We describe the desire for a black box approach to pattern classification: a generic Autonomous Pattern Recognizer, which is capable of self-adapting to specific alphabets without human intervention. The CellNet software system is introduced, an evolutionary system that optimizes a set of pattern-recognizing agents relative to a provided set of features and a given pattern database. CellNet utilizes a new genetic operator designed to facilitate a canalization of development: Merger. CellNet utilizes our own set of arbitrarily chosen features, and is applied to the CEDAR Database of handwritten Latin characters, as well as to a database of handwritten Indian digits provided by CENPARMI. CellNet's cooperative co-evolutionary approach shows significant improvement over a more standard Genetic Algorithm, both in terms of efficiency and in nearly eliminating over-fitting (to the training set). Additionally, the binary classifiers autonomously evolved by CellNet return validation accuracies approaching 98% for both Latin and Indian digits, with no global changes to the system between the two trials.

We present a high-quality sky segmentation model for depth refinement and investigate residual architecture performance to inform optimally shrinking the network. We describe a model that runs in near real-time on mobile device, present a new, highquality dataset, and detail a unique weighing to trade off false positives and false negatives in binary classifiers. We show how the optimizations improve bokeh rendering by correcting stereo depth misprediction in sky regions. We detail techniques used to preserve edges, reject false positives, and ensure generalization to the diversity of sky scenes. Finally, we present a compact model and compare performance of four popular residual architectures (ShuffleNet, MobileNetV2, Resnet-101, and Resnet-34-like) at constant computational cost.
