Improved Boosting Algorithms using Confidence-Rated Predictions
Abstract. We describe several improvements to Freund and Schapire's AdaBoost boosting algorithm, particularly in a setting in which hypotheses may assign confidences to each o...

Using sampling methods to improve binding site predictions
Currently the best algorithms for transcription factor binding site prediction are severely limited in accuracy. In previous work we combine random selection under-sampling with th...

Prediction by Categorical Features: Generalization Properties and Application to Feature Ranking
We describe and analyze a new approach for feature ranking in the presence of categorical features with a large number of possible values. It is shown that popular ranking criteria...

Comparing the Bayes and Typicalness Frameworks
When correct priors are known, Bayesian algorithms give optimal decisions, and accurate confidence values for predictions can be obtained. If the prior is incorrect however, these...

Learning to Complete Sentences
Abstract. We consider the problem of predicting how a user will continue a given initial text fragment. Intuitively, our goal is to develop a “tab-complete” function for natura...
