We propose a new approach for learning Bayesian classifiers from data. Although it relies on traditional Bayesian network (BN) learning algorithms, the effectiveness of our approa...
We present a learning algorithm for nominal data. It builds a classifier by adding iteratively a simple patch function that modifies the current classifier. Its main advantage lies...
CoIL challenge 2000 was a supervised learning contest that attracted 43 entries. The authors of 29 entries later wrote explanations of their work. This paper discusses these repor...
Recent work in supervised learning has shown that a surprisingly simple Bayesian classifier with strong assumptions of independence among features, called naive Bayes, is competit...
Many real world applications employ multivariate performance measures and each example can belong to multiple classes. The currently most popular approaches train an SVM for each ...
