How to assess the performance of machine learning algorithms is a problem of increasing interest and urgency as the data mining application of myriad algorithms grows. The standard...
Beam search is used to maintain tractability in large search spaces at the expense of completeness and optimality. We study supervised learning of linear ranking functions for con...
XCS with Computed Action, briefly XCSCA, is a recent extension of XCS to tackle problems involving a large number of discrete actions. In XCSCA the classifier action is computed wi...
Backpropagation, similar to most learning algorithms that can form complex decision surfaces, is prone to overfitting. This work presents classification-based objective functions, ...
Sparse coding, which is the decomposition of a vector using only a few basis elements, is widely used in machine learning and image processing. The basis set, also called dictiona...
