For many years now, there is a growing interest around ROC curve for characterizing machine learning performances. This is particularly due to the fact that in real-world problems ...
Recently, the area of rule extraction from support vector machines (SVMs) has been explored. One important indication of the success of a rule extraction method is the performance...
In some classification problems, like the detection of illnesses in patients, classes are very unbalanced and the misclassification costs for different classes vary significantly....
Abstract. Learning ranking functions is crucial for solving many problems, ranging from document retrieval to building recommendation systems based on an individual user’s prefer...
: This article presents the method of Support Vectors Machines (SVM) for predicting probability of survival in critically ill patients by using Platt’s method to fit a sigmoid1 ....
