Decision-tree algorithms are known to be unstable: small variations in the training set can result in different trees and different predictions for the same validation examples. B...
Privacy-preserving data mining (PPDM) is an important topic to both industry and academia. In general there are two approaches to tackling PPDM, one is statistics-based and the oth...

Decision trees are a widely used knowledge representation in machine learning. However, one of their main drawbacks is the inherent replication of isomorphic subtrees, as a result...

Although backpropagation ANNs generally predict better than decision trees do for pattern classification problems, they are often regarded as black boxes, i.e., their predictions c...
My research attempts to address on-line action selection in reinforcement learning from a Bayesian perspective. The idea is to develop more effective action selection techniques b...
