Semi-naive Bayesian classifiers seek to retain the numerous strengths of naive Bayes while reducing error by weakening the attribute independence assumption. Backwards Sequential ...
The conditional distribution of a discrete variable y, given another discrete variable x, is often specified by assigning one multinomial distribution to each state of x. The cost...
Protein fold recognition is a key step towards inferring the tertiary structures from amino-acid sequences. Complex folds such as those consisting of interacting structural repeat...
We propose a fast iterative classification algorithm for Kernel Fisher Discriminant (KFD) using heterogeneous kernel models. In contrast with the standard KFD that requires the us...
Boosting is a popular approach for building accurate classifiers. Despite the initial popular belief, boosting algorithms do exhibit overfitting and are sensitive to label noise. ...
