An approach to build a multi-class classifier is proposed in this paper. This approach consists of a derivation to show under which loss function an optimal classifier can be obtai...
: A-scans from ultrasonic testing of long shafts are complex signals. The discrimination of different types of echoes is of importance for non-destructive testing and equipment mai...
We describe experiments with a Naive Bayes text classifier in the context of anti-spam E-mail filtering, using two different statistical event models: a multi-variate Bernoulli ...
