I describe a framework for interpreting Support Vector Machines (SVMs) as maximum a posteriori (MAP) solutions to inference problems with Gaussian Process priors. This probabilisti...
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...
AUC(Area Under the Curve) of ROC(Receiver Operating Characteristics) has been recently used as a measure for ranking performanceof learning algorithms. In this paper, wepresent a ...
Abstract. In this work we investigate several issues in order to improve the performance of probabilistic estimation trees (PETs). First, we derive a new probability smoothing that...
Class membership probability estimates are important for many applications of data mining in which classification outputs are combined with other sources of information for decisi...
