In classification with monotonicity constraints, it is assumed that the class label should increase with increasing values on the attributes. In this paper we aim at formalizing ...
The ranking function used by search engines to order results is learned from labeled training data. Each training point is a (query, URL) pair that is labeled by a human judge who...

Given a model family and a set of unlabeled examples, one could either label specific examples or state general constraints--both provide information about the desired model. In g...
We present an algorithm, called the offset tree, for learning in situations where a loss associated with different decisions is not known, but was randomly probed. The algorithm i...
A lift curve, with the true positive rate on the y-axis and the customer pull (or contact) rate on the x-axis, is often used to depict the model performance in many data mining ap...
