The applicationofboosting procedures to decision tree algorithmshas been shown to produce very accurate classi ers. These classiers are in the form of a majority vote over a numbe...
Before applying learning algorithms to datasets, practitioners often globally discretize any numeric attributes. If the algorithm cannot handle numeric attributes directly, prior ...

AdaCost, a variant of AdaBoost, is a misclassification cost-sensitive boosting method. It uses the cost of misclassifications to update the training distribution on successive boo...

As opposed to traditional supervised learning, multiple-instance learning concerns the problem of classifying a bag of instances, given bags that are labeled by a teacher as being...
Clustering algorithms conduct a search through the space of possible organizations of a data set. In this paper, we propose two types of instance-level clustering constraints ? mu...
If all features causing heterogeneity were observed, a mixture of experts approach (Jacobs et al., 1991) is likely to be superior to using a single model. When unobserved or very n...
