Ensemble methods are learning algorithms that construct a set of classi ers and then classify new data points by taking a (weighted) vote of their predictions. The original ensembl...
Various formally valid counterexamples have been adduced against the Humean dictum that one cannot derive an "ought" from an "is." There are formal rebuttals--s...
The "minimum margin" of an ensemble classifier on a given training set is, roughly speaking, the smallest vote it gives to any correct training label. Recent work has sh...
An algorithm independent metric is introduced that measures the dispersion of a uniform random sample drawn from the top ranked percentiles of the search space. A low dispersion f...
We give a fresh look into score normalization for merging result-lists, isolating the problem from other components. We focus on three of the simplest, practical, and widelyused l...
