Abstract. Feature selection is an important task in data mining because it allows to reduce the data dimensionality and eliminates the noisy variables. Traditionally, feature selec...
Symbolic data analysis aims at generalizing some standard statistical data mining methods, such as those developed for classification tasks, to the case of symbolic objects (SOs). ...
Understanding the structure of multidimensional patterns, especially in unsupervised case, is of fundamental importance in data mining, pattern recognition and machine learning. Se...
Corruption of data by class-label noise is an important practical concern impacting many classification problems. Studies of data cleaning techniques often assume a uniform label ...
In realistic settings the prevalence of a class may change after a classifier is induced and this will degrade the performance of the classifier. Further complicating this scenari...
