Many important application areas of text classifiers demand high precision and it is common to compare prospective solutions to the performance of Naive Bayes. This baseline is us...
Abstract--We participated (as Team 9) in the Article Classification Task of the Biocreative II.5 Challenge: binary classification of fulltext documents relevant for protein-protein...
We introduce a new stacking-like approach for multi-value classification. We apply this classification scheme using Naive Bayes, Rocchio and kNN classifiers on the well-known Reute...
It is well-known that naive Bayes performs surprisingly well in classification, but its probability estimation is poor. In many applications, however, a ranking based on class prob...
We investigate why discretization is effective in naive-Bayes learning. We prove a theorem that identifies particular conditions under which discretization will result in naiveBay...
