Miscellaneous writing by Tim Kovacs

This page has "extras" (e.g., PDFs, slides or HTML versions) for a few of the things I've written. It also has some unpublished work, such as a form for reviewing papers.

Aims, Objectives and Guidelines for PhD students by Tim Kovacs, 2008. For the impatient there's a much shorter slide presentation from 2013.
My PhD thesis / Book: Strength or Accuracy: Credit Assignment in Learning Classifier Systems.
Software for Experiments. This is the handout for a workshop run by Tim Kovacs and Rob Egginton on designing and writing software to run experiments. From 2010.
A tutorial survey of Genetics-based Machine Learning from 2012.
A tutorial on generalization versus discrimination in machine learning and psychology from 2012.
Artificial Intelligence through Search: Solving Sudoku Problems. An introduction to Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science using the solving of Sudoku puzzles as a motivating example, for the general public.
Handouts for a course on computational learning theory.
A latex style file to generate conference booklets. Peter Flach, Tijl de Bie and I designed it and I wrote the latex. We used it for the ECML-PKDD 2012 booklet. It can generate output for either A4 or A5.
A form for reviewing papers.
