For supervised learning, feature selection algorithms attempt to maximise a given function of predictive accuracy. This function usually considers the ability of feature vectors t...
Active learning sequentially selects unlabeled instances to label with the goal of reducing the effort needed to learn a good classifier. Most previous studies in active learning...
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. ...

Support vector machines (SVMs) excel at two-class discriminative learning problems. They often outperform generative classifiers, especially those that use inaccurate generative m...
The proposed feature selection method aims to find a minimum subset of the most informative variables for classification/regression by efficiently approximating the Markov Blanket ...
