In learning, a semantic or behavioral U-shape occurs when a learner rst learns, then unlearns, and, nally, relearns, some target concept (on the way to success). Within the framew...
We propose a simple mechanism for incorporating advice (prior knowledge), in the form of simple rules, into support-vector methods for both classification and regression. Our appr...

Bayesian classifiers such as Naive Bayes or Tree Augmented Naive Bayes (TAN) have shown excellent performance given their simplicity and heavy underlying independence assumptions....
This paper is based on the observation that the nearest neighbour in a case-based prediction system may not be the best case to explain a prediction. This observation is based on t...
The great majority of genetic programming (GP) algorithms that deal with the classification problem follow a supervised approach, i.e., they consider that all fitness cases availab...
