Improving the AUC of Probabilistic Estimation Trees
Abstract. In this work we investigate several issues in order to improve the performance of probabilistic estimation trees (PETs). First, we derive a new probability smoothing that...

Improve Decision Trees for Probability-Based Ranking by Lazy Learners
Existing work shows that classic decision trees have inherent deficiencies in obtaining a good probability-based ranking (e.g. AUC). This paper aims to improve the ranking perfor...

Robust web extraction: an approach based on a probabilistic tree-edit model
On script-generated web sites, many documents share common HTML tree structure, allowing wrappers to effectively extract information of interest. Of course, the scripts and thus ...
