The Impact of Small Disjuncts on Classifier Learning [chapter]

Gary M. Weiss
2009 Annals of Information Systems  
Many classifier induction systems express the induced classifier in terms of a disjunctive description. Small disjuncts are those disjuncts that classify few training examples.  ...  This analysis provides many insights into why some data sets are difficult to learn from and also provides a better understanding of classifier learning in general.  ...  these data sets to assess the impact that small disjuncts have on learning.  ...

Foundations of Imbalanced Learning [chapter]

Gary M. Weiss
2013 Imbalanced Learning  
This chapter begins by describing what is meant by imbalanced data, and by showing the effects of such data on learning.  ...  Because this learning task is quite challenging, there has been a tremendous amount of research on this topic over the past fifteen years.  ...  Figure 2 . 5 25 The impact of absolute rarity on classifier performance Having a small amount of training data will generally have a much larger impact on the classification of the minority-class (i.e.  ...

2004 SIGKDD Explorations  
These descriptions utilize examples from existing research, so that this article provides a good survey of the literature on rarity in data mining.  ...  Rare objects are often of great interest and great value. Until recently, however, rarity has not received much attention in the context of data mining.  ...  on the impact of small disjuncts and class distribution on data mining.  ...

Learning with Class Skews and Small Disjuncts [chapter]

Ronaldo C. Prati, Gustavo E. A. P. A. Batista, Maria Carolina Monard
2004 Lecture Notes in Computer Science  
One of the main objectives of a Machine Learning -MLsystem is to induce a classifier that minimizes classification errors.  ...  In this sense, this work analyzes two important issues that might influence the performance of ML systems: class imbalance and errorprone small disjuncts.  ...  We wish to thank the anonymous reviewers for their helpful comments. This research was partially supported by the Brazilian Research Councils CAPES and FAPESP.  ...

Enhanced Classification to Counter the Problem of Cluster Disjuncts
English

Syed Ziaur Rahman, Dr.G. Samuel Vara Prasad Raju
2014 International Journal of Computer Trends and Technology  
This paper presets a rigorous yet practical model dubbed as Cluster Disjunct Minority Oversampling Technique (CDMOTE) for learning from skewed training data.  ...  The empirical study suggests that CDMOTE have been believed to be effective in addressing the class imbalance problem.  ...  Moreover, since classifiers attempt to learn both majority and minority a concept, the problem of small disjuncts is not only restricted to the minority concept.  ...

An Evolutionary Algorithm for Automated Discovery of Small-Disjunct Rules

Basheer M.Al-Maqaleh, Mohammed A. Al-Dohbai, Hamid Shahbazkia
2012 International Journal of Computer Applications  
The proposed algorithm is validated on several datasets of UCI data set repository and the experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme for automated small-disjunct  ...  In the context of data mining, small disjuncts are rules covering a small number of examples. Due to their nature, small disjuncts are error prone.  ...  Weiss and Hirsh present a quantitative measure for evaluating the effect of small disjuncts on learning [18] .  ...

A genetic-algorithm for discovering small-disjunct rules in data mining

Deborah R. Carvalho, Alex A. Freitas
2002 Applied Soft Computing  
At first glance, this is not a serious problem, since the impact on predictive accuracy should be small.  ...  However, although each small disjunct covers few examples, the set of all small disjuncts can cover a large number of examples.  ...  The authors reported experiments with a number of data sets to assess the impact of small disjuncts on learning, especially when factors such as training set size, pruning strategy, and noise level are  ...

Evaluating Six Candidate Solutions for the Small-Disjunct Problem and Choosing the Best Solution via Meta-Learning

Deborah R. Carvalho, Alex A. Freitas
2005 Artificial Intelligence Review  
This paper offers two main contributions to the research on small disjuncts. First, it investigates 6 candidate solutions (algorithms) for the problem of small disjuncts.  ...  A set of classification rules can be considered as a disjunction of rules, where each rule is a disjunct. A small disjunct is a rule covering a small number of examples.  ...  Wesley Romao for having prepared the CNPq data sets for data mining purposes, allowing us to use those data sets in our experiments.  ...

Overlapping, Rare Examples and Class Decomposition in Learning Classifiers from Imbalanced Data [chapter]

Jerzy Stefanowski
2013 Smart Innovation, Systems and Technologies  
Class imbalance constitutes a difficulty for most algorithms learning classifiers as they are biased toward the majority classes.  ...  The novel observation is showing the impact of rare examples from the minority class located inside the majority class.  ...  Small disjuncts are these parts of the learned classifier which cover a too small number of examples [20, 62] .  ...
