Learning to rank for why-question answering
In this paper, we evaluate a number of machine learning techniques for the task of ranking answers to why-questions. We use TF-IDF together with a set of 36 linguistically motivate...

Lower Bounds for Agnostic Learning via Approximate Rank
We prove that the concept class of disjunctions cannot be pointwise approximated by linear combinations of any small set of arbitrary real-valued functions. That is, suppose that t...

Random Forests Feature Selection with K-PLS: Detecting Ischemia from Magnetocardiograms
Random Forests were introduced by Breiman for feature (variable) selection and improved predictions for decision tree models. The resulting model is often superior to AdaBoost and ...
