Considering Cost Asymmetry in Learning Classifiers
Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves are a standard way to display the performance of a set of binary classifiers for all feasible ratios of the costs associated with fa...

Improving GP classifier generalization using a cluster separation metric
Genetic Programming offers freedom in the definition of the cost function that is unparalleled among supervised learning algorithms. However, this freedom goes largely unexploited...

Learning Classifiers from Imbalanced Data Based on Biased Minimax Probability Machine
We consider the problem of the binary classification on imbalanced data, in which nearly all the instances are labelled as one class, while far fewer instances are labelled as the...

Confidence-Based Feature Acquisition to Minimize Training and Test Costs
We present Confidence-based Feature Acquisition (CFA), a novel supervised learning method for acquiring missing feature values when there is missing data at both training and test...

Optimizing Classifier Performance via an Approximation to the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney Statistic
When the goal is to achieve the best correct classification rate, cross entropy and mean squared error are typical cost functions used to optimize classifier performance. However,...
