Decision trees are widely disseminated as an effective solution for classification tasks. Decision tree induction algorithms have some limitations though, due to the typical strat...
Subgroup discovery aims at finding interesting subsets of a classified example set that deviates from the overall distribution. The search is guided by a so-called utility function...
Semi-supervised inductive learning concerns how to learn a decision rule from a data set containing both labeled and unlabeled data. Several boosting algorithms have been extended...
Discrete values have important roles in data mining and knowledge discovery. They are about intervals of numbers which are more concise to represent and specify, easier to use and ...
s In data mining, we emphasize the need for learning from huge, incomplete and imperfect data sets (Fayyad et al. 1996, Frawley et al. 1991, Piatetsky-Shapiro and Frawley, 1991). T...
