Background: Text mining has spurred huge interest in the domain of biology. The goal of the BioCreAtIvE exercise was to evaluate the performance of current text mining systems. We...
We present DL8, an exact algorithm for finding a decision tree that optimizes a ranking function under size, depth, accuracy and leaf constraints. Because the discovery of optimal...
This paper presents a stagewise least square (SLS) loss function for classification. It uses a least square form within each stage to approximate a bounded monotonic nonconvex los...
The ability to determine what day-to-day activity (such as cooking pasta, taking a pill, or watching a video) a person is performing is of interest in many application domains. A ...

We present an unusual algorithm involving classification trees-CARTwheels--where two trees are grown in opposite directions so that they are joined at their leaves. This approach ...
