Centered Discretization with Application to Graphical Passwords
Discretization is used in click-based graphical passwords so that approximately correct entries can be accepted by the system. We show that the existing discretization scheme of B...

On Why Discretization Works for Naive-Bayes Classifiers
We investigate why discretization is effective in naive-Bayes learning. We prove a theorem that identifies particular conditions under which discretization will result in naiveBay...
