Ensembles for Predicting Structured Outputs

چکیده

While ensembles have been used for structured output learning, the literature lacks an extensive study of different strategies to construct ensembles in this context. In this work, we fill this gap by presenting a thorough empirical comparison of ensembles that predict the complete output structure at once, versus a combination of ensembles that each predicts a single component of the structure. We present results in two structured output learning tasks, using predictive clustering trees as base learners. The main results are that the difference in predictive performance is not significantly different for both approaches. However, in terms of total model size and induction times, ensembles that exploit the output structure are significantly more efficient.

Tree ensembles for predicting structured outputs

In this paper, we address the task of learning models for predicting structured outputs. We consider both global and local predictions of structured outputs, the former based on a single model that predicts the entire output structure and the latter based on a collection of models, each predicting a component of the output structure. We use ensemble methods and apply them in the context of pred...

Ensembles of Extremely Randomized Trees for Multi-target Regression

In this work, we address the task of learning ensembles of predictive models for predicting multiple continuous variables, i.e., multitarget regression (MTR). In contrast to standard regression, where the output is a single scalar value, in MTR the output is a data structure – a tuple/vector of continuous variables. The task of MTR is recently gaining increasing interest by the research communi...

The use of the label hierarchy in HMC improves performance: A case study in predicting community structure in ecology

In this article, we address the task of learning models for predicting structured outputs. We consider both global and local prediction of structured outputs, the former based on a single model that predicts the entire output structure and the latter based on a collection of models, each predicting a component of the output structure. More specifically, we investigate whether the global models ...

A structured outputs method for predicting protein binding sites

Protein-protein interactions have essential roles in nearly all biochemical processes. While high-throughput methods exist for experimentally identifying interaction partners, the task of determining binding site locations remains arduous. We consider the prediction of protein binding site location as an instance of the label sequence problem and outline a representation in the framework of str...

A Structured-Outputs Method for Prediction of Protein Function

We apply the structured-output methodology to the problem of predicting the molecular function of proteins. Our results demonstrate that learning the structure of the output space yields better performance when compared to the traditional “transfer of annotation” method.
