Incorporating Prior Knowledge into
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a modiication to the AdaBoost algorithm that permits the incorporation of prior human knowledge as a means of compensating for a shortage of training data. We give a convergence result for the algorithm. We describe experiments on four datasets showing that prior knowledge can substantially improve performance.

The paper reviews the recent developments of incorporating prior domain knowledge into inductive machine learning, and proposes a guideline that incorporates prior domain knowledge in three key issues of inductive machine learning algorithms: consistency, generalization and convergence. With respect to each issue, this paper gives some approaches to improve the performance of the inductive mach...
متن کاملIncorporating Prior Knowledge into Task Decomposition for Large-Scale Patent Classification
With the adoption of min-max-modular support vector machines (SVMs) to solve large-scale patent classification problems, a novel, simple method for incorporating prior knowledge into task decomposition is proposed and investigated. Two kinds of prior knowledge described in patent texts are considered: time information, and hierarchical structure information. Through experiments using the NTCIR-...

Medical image segmentation, the task of partitioning an image into meaningful parts, is an important step toward automating medical image analysis and is at the crux of a variety of medical imaging applications, such as computer aided diagnosis, therapy planning and delivery, and computer aided interventions. However, the existence of noise, low contrast and objects’ complexity in medical image...
متن کاملIncorporating prior knowledge of predictors into penalized classifiers with multiple penalty terms
MOTIVATION In the context of sample (e.g. tumor) classifications with microarray gene expression data, many methods have been proposed. However, almost all the methods ignore existing biological knowledge and treat all the genes equally a priori. On the other hand, because some genes have been identified by previous studies to have biological functions or to be involved in pathways related to t...

Incorporating prior knowledge (PK) into learning methods is an effective means to improve learning performance. On the bases of requirements of engineering practice and the characteristics of knowledge representation of extension neural network (ENN), with the purpose of further improving the performance of ENN in engineering practice, a prior-knowledge-based ENN (PKENN) recognition method is p...
