In this paper, we propose a general framework for distributed boosting intended for efficient integrating specialized classifiers learned over very large and distributed homogeneo...
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...
We present a new technique that employs support vector machines and Gaussian mixture densities to create a generative/discriminative joint classifier. In the past, several approac...
Discovering rare categories and classifying new instances of them is an important data mining issue in many fields, but fully supervised learning of a rare class classifier is pr...
Rules are commonly used for classification because they are modular, intelligible and easy to learn. Existing work in classification rule learning assumes the goal is to produce ca...
