In this paper, we discuss a technique for handling multi-class problems with binary classifiers, namely to learn one classifier for each pair of classes. Although this idea is kno...
In this paper, we propose a unified non-quadratic loss function for regression known as soft insensitive loss function (SILF). SILF is a flexible model and possesses most of the d...
As multiagent environments become more prevalent we need to understand how this changes the agent-based paradigm. One aspect that is heavily affected by the presence of multiple a...
In this paper, we examine the advantages and disadvantages of filter and wrapper methods for feature selection and propose a new hybrid algorithm that uses boosting and incorporat...
This paper addresses cost-sensitive classification in the setting where there are costs for measuring each attribute as well as costs for misclassification errors. We show how to ...
