Many of today's best classification results are obtained by combining the responses of a set of base classifiers to produce an answer for the query. This paper explores a nov...
The conditional distribution of a discrete variable y, given another discrete variable x, is often specified by assigning one multinomial distribution to each state of x. The cost...
In the task of adaptive information filtering, a system receives a stream of documents but delivers only those that match a person's information need. As the system filters i...
The naive classifier is a well-established mathematical model whose simplicity, speed and accuracy have made it a popular choice for classification in AI and engineering. In this ...
It is well-known that naive Bayes performs surprisingly well in classification, but its probability estimation is poor. In many applications, however, a ranking based on class prob...
