Random forest is a collection (ensemble) of decision trees. It is a popular ensemble technique in pattern recognition. In this article, we apply random forest for cancer classifica...
Many approaches to active learning involve training one classifier by periodically choosing new data points about which the classifier has the least confidence, but designing a co...
Topic distillation aims at finding key resources which are high-quality pages for certain topics. With analysis in non-content features of key resources, a pre-selection method is ...
