Feature selection, as a preprocessing step to machine learning, has been very effective in reducing dimensionality, removing irrelevant data, increasing learning accuracy, and imp...
In knowledge discovery applications, where new features are to be added, an acquisition policy can help select the features to be acquired based on their relevance and the cost of...
Abstract. We propose a novel active learning strategy based on the compression framework of [9] for label ranking functions which, given an input instance, predict a total order ov...
This paper introduces a new method for identifying named-entity (NE) transliterations within bilingual corpora. Current state-of-theart approaches usually require annotated data a...
Abstract. We address the problem of selecting a subset of the most relevant features from a set of sample data in cases where there are multiple (equally reasonable) solutions. In ...
