Tree models are valuable tools for predictive modeling and data mining. Traditional tree-growing methodologies such as CART are known to suffer from problems including greediness,...
This paper presents our solution for KDD Cup 2008 competition that aims at optimizing the area under ROC for breast cancer detection. We exploited weighted-based classification me...
It is possible to broadly characterize two approaches to probabilistic modeling in terms of generative and discriminative methods. Provided with sufficient training data the discr...
Background: In population-based studies, it is generally recognized that single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers are not independent. Rather, they are carried by haplotypes, ...
Neurons in area MT of primate visual cortex encode the velocity of moving objects. We present a model of how MT cells aggregate responses from V1 to form such a velocity represent...
