Most machine learning algorithms are lazy: they extract from the training set the minimum information needed to predict its labels. Unfortunately, this often leads to models that ...

Abstract. Traditionally, machine learning algorithms such as decision tree learners have employed attribute-value representations. From the early 80's on people have started t...
Abstract. This paper proposes a generic extension to propositional rule learners to handle multiple-instance data. In a multiple-instance representation, each learning example is r...
In this paper, we investigate the role of a biomedical dataset on the classification accuracy of an algorithm. We quantify the complexity of a biomedical dataset using five complex...
Before applying learning algorithms to datasets, practitioners often globally discretize any numeric attributes. If the algorithm cannot handle numeric attributes directly, prior ...
