Text Classification from Labeled and Unlabeled Documents using EM
This paper shows that the accuracy of learned text classifiers can be improved by augmenting a small number of labeled training documents with a large pool of unlabeled documents. ...

Multiple Comparisons in Induction Algorithms
Abstract. A single mechanism is responsible for three pathologies of induction algorithms: attribute selection errors, overfitting, and oversearching. In each pathology, induction ...

Phase Transitions in Relational Learning
One of the major limitations of relational learning is due to the complexity of verifying hypotheses on examples. In this paper we investigate this task in light of recent publishe...

Enlarging the Margins in Perceptron Decision Trees
Capacity control in perceptron decision trees is typically performed by controlling their size. We prove that other quantities can be as relevant to reduce their flexibility and co...

Maximizing Theory Accuracy Through Selective Reinterpretation
Existing methods for exploiting awed domain theories depend on the use of a su ciently large set of training examples for diagnosing and repairing aws in the theory. In this paper,...

Randomizing Outputs to Increase Prediction Accuracy
Bagging and boosting reduce error by changing both the inputs and outputs to form perturbed training sets, grow predictors on these perturbed training sets and combine them. A que...
