Advanced Metrics for Class-Driven Similarity Search
This paper presents two metrics for the Nearest Neighbor Classifier that share the property of being adapted, i.e. learned, on a set of data. Both metrics can be used for similari...

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...

Converting Output Scores from Outlier Detection Algorithms into Probability Estimates
Current outlier detection schemes typically output a numeric score representing the degree to which a given observation is an outlier. We argue that converting the scores into wel...
