Rare category detection is an open challenge for active learning, especially in the de-novo case (no labeled examples), but of significant practical importance for data mining - ...
Abstract. Active learning algorithms attempt to accelerate the learning process by requesting labels for the most informative items first. In real-world problems, however, there ma...
Automated text categorisation systems learn a generalised hypothesis from large numbers of labelled examples. However, in many domains labelled data is scarce and expensive to obta...
This paper shows how a text classifier's need for labeled training documents can be reduced by taking advantage of a large pool of unlabeled documents. We modify the Query-by...
Data mining techniques have become central to many applications. Most of those applications rely on so called supervised learning algorithms, which learn from given examples in th...
