Existing work shows that classic decision trees have inherent deficiencies in obtaining a good probability-based ranking (e.g. AUC). This paper aims to improve the ranking perfor...
In this paper, a new learning framework?probabilistic boosting-tree (PBT), is proposed for learning two-class and multi-class discriminative models. In the learning stage, the pro...
It has been observed that traditional decision trees produce poor probability estimates. In many applications, however, a probability estimation tree (PET) with accurate probabilit...
Abstract. Existing relational learning approaches usually work on complete relational data, but real-world data are often incomplete. This paper proposes the MGDA approach to learn...
This article presents and analyzes algorithms that systematically generate random Bayesian networks of varying difficulty levels, with respect to inference using tree clustering. ...
