Abstract. In this paper, we propose a new method for learning to rank. `Ranking SVM' is a method for performing the task. It formulizes the problem as that of binary classific...
One problem of data-driven answer extraction in open-domain factoid question answering is that the class distribution of labeled training data is fairly imbalanced. This imbalance...

The presence of asymmetry in the misclassification costs or class prevalences is a common occurrence in the pattern classification domain. While much interest has been devoted to ...
Abstract. In some learning settings, the cost of acquiring features for classification must be paid up front, before the classifier is evaluated. In this paper, we introduce the fo...

We propose and evaluate a family of methods for converting classifier learning algorithms and classification theory into cost-sensitive algorithms and theory. The proposed conve...
