The Web is now a huge information repository with a rich semantic structure that, however, is primarily addressed to human understanding rather than automated processing by a compu...
This paper addresses cost-sensitive classification in the setting where there are costs for measuring each attribute as well as costs for misclassification errors. We show how to ...
Top Down Induction of Decision Trees (TDIDT) is the most commonly used method of constructing a model from a dataset in the form of classification rules to classify previously unse...
Backpropagation, similar to most learning algorithms that can form complex decision surfaces, is prone to overfitting. This work presents classification-based objective functions, ...
Conditional random fields (CRFs) are graphical models for modeling the probability of labels given the observations. They have traditionally been trained with using a set of obser...
