Time for a change: a tutorial for comparing multiple classifiers through Bayesian analysis

2016-06-14 · Alessio Benavoli, Giorgio Corani, Janez Demsar, Marco Zaffalon

The machine learning community adopted the use of null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) in order to ensure the statistical validity of results. Many scientific fields however realized the shortcomings of frequentist reasoning and in the most radical cases even banned its use in publications. We should do the same: just as we have embraced the Bayesian paradigm in the development of new machine learning methods, so we should also use it in the analysis of our own results. We argue for abandonment of NHST by exposing its fallacies and, more importantly, offer better - more sound and useful - alternatives for it.

Comparing Classifiers: A Case Study Using PyCM

2026-02-13 · Sadra Sabouri, Alireza Zolanvari, Sepand Haghighi arxiv

Selecting an optimal classification model requires a robust and comprehensive understanding of the performance of the model. This paper provides a tutorial on the PyCM library, demonstrating its utility in conducting dee…

CTBNCToolkit: Continuous Time Bayesian Network Classifier Toolkit

2014-04-18 · Daniele Codecasa, Fabio Stella

Continuous time Bayesian network classifiers are designed for temporal classification of multivariate streaming data when time duration of events matters and the class does not change over time. This paper introduces the…

Predicting Abandonment in Online Coding Tutorials

2017-07-13 · An Yan, Michael J. Lee, Andrew J. Ko

Learners regularly abandon online coding tutorials when they get bored or frustrated, but there are few techniques for anticipating this abandonment to intervene. In this paper, we examine the feasibility of predicting a…

Label Stability in Multiple Instance Learning

2017-03-15 · Veronika Cheplygina, Lauge Sørensen, David M. J. Tax, Marleen de Bruijne 외

We address the problem of \emph{instance label stability} in multiple instance learning (MIL) classifiers. These classifiers are trained only on globally annotated images (bags), but often can provide fine-grained annota…
