Predictive accuracy has been used as the main and often only evaluation criterion for the predictive performance of classification learning algorithms. In recent years, the area ...
In this paper we analyze the most popular evaluation metrics for separate-and-conquer rule learning algorithms. Our results show that all commonly used heuristics, including accur...
We used transmittance images and different learning algorithms to classify insect damaged and un-damaged wheat kernels. Using the histogram of the pixels of the wheat images as th...
— Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC) is often used to evaluate ranking performance in binary classification problems. Several researchers have approached AUC optimization by approxi...
This paper presents our solution for KDD Cup 2008 competition that aims at optimizing the area under ROC for breast cancer detection. We exploited weighted-based classification me...
