Classification is an important problem in data mining. Given a database of records, each with a class label, a classifier generates a concise and meaningful description for each c...
Background: Structure-dependent substitution matrices increase the accuracy of sequence alignments when the 3D structure of one sequence is known, and are successful e.g. in fold ...
The class imbalance problem (when one of the classes has much less samples than the others) is of great importance in machine learning, because it corresponds to many critical app...
Decision tree-based probability estimation has received great attention because accurate probability estimation can possibly improve classification accuracy and probability-based r...
Existing work shows that classic decision trees have inherent deficiencies in obtaining a good probability-based ranking (e.g. AUC). This paper aims to improve the ranking perfor...
