Antibiogram-Derived Radial Decision Trees: An Innovative Approach to Susceptibility Data Display

An Approach to Intuitionistic Fuzzy Decision Trees

An approach to construct a new classifier called an intuitionistic fuzzy decision tree is presented. Well known benchmark data is used to analyze the performance of the classifier. The results are compared to some other popular classification algorithms. Finally, the classifier behavior is verified while solving a real-world classification problem.

Mixed Decision Trees: An Evolutionary Approach

In the paper, a new evolutionary algorithm (EA) for mixed tree learning is proposed. In non-terminal nodes of a mixed decision tree different types of tests can be placed, ranging from a typical univariate inequality test up to a multivariate test based on a splitting hyperplane. In contrast to classical top-down methods, our system searches for an optimal tree in a global manner, i.e. it learn...

Similarity Functions for Structured Data. An Application to Decision Trees

Learning from structured data is becoming increasingly important. Besides the well-known approaches which deal directly with complex data representations (inductive logic programming and multi-relational data mining), new techniques have been recently proposed by upgrading propositional learning algorithms. Focusing on distance-based methods, these techniques are extended by incorporating simil...

English for Specific Purposes: Proposing an Innovative Approach to Teaching English to Medical Students

Background: English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses should empower students to satisfy their language needs. However, at many Iranian universities, these courses are mostly taught based on the Grammar Translation Method focusing on teaching grammatical rules and reading comprehension. The present study aims at proposing an innovative approach for teaching English to Medical students that ca...
