  • Methods for cost-sensitive learning

    Creator:
    Margineantu, Dragos D.
    Abstract:
    Many approaches for achieving intelligent behavior of automated (computer) systems involve components that learn from past experience. This dissertation studies computational methods for learning from examples, for classification and for decision making, when the decisions have different non-zero costs associated with them. Many practical applications of learning algorithms, including transaction...

    In its simplest form, the process of diagnosis is a decision-making process in which the diagnostician performs a sequence of tests culminating in a diagnostic decision. For example, a physician might perform a series of simple measurements (body tem- perature, weight, etc.) and laboratory measurements (white blood count, CT scan,...
