Due to the tremendous increase in the amount of digital data, effective large scale data classification is playing an increasingly important role. In active learning algorithms a “classifier” is used to classify the unlabeled data. To ensure reliable performance of the classifier, it must be trained using a number of labeled examples, or the classifier’s...

Because of their surface area and porosity, nanoporous materials are one of the most actively sought after materials in the modern technologies. They are finding use in a wide range of applications including microelectronics, medicine, energy storage, water purification, and environmental emissions. There are many differing methods of creating nanoporous...
