Classiication trees based on exhaustive search algorithms tend to be biased towards selecting variables that aaord more splits. As a result, such trees should be interpreted with caution. This article presents an algorithm called QUEST that has negligible bias.

Classification trees based on exhaustive search algorithms tend to be biased towards selecting variables that afford more splits. As a result, such trees should be interpreted with caution. This article presents an algorithm called QUEST that has negligible bias. Its split selection strategy shares similarities with the FACT method, but it yields binary splits and the final tree can be selected...

This paper presents QUEST++ , an open source tool for quality estimation which can predict quality for texts at word, sentence and document level. It also provides pipelined processing, whereby predictions made at a lower level (e.g. for words) can be used as input to build models for predictions at a higher level (e.g. sentences). QUEST++ allows the extraction of a variety of features, and pro...

In this paper, we present an approach and a visual tool, called HWrap (Handle Based Wrapper), for creating web wrappers to extract data records from web pages. In our approach, we mainly rely on the visible page content to identify data regions on a web page. In our extraction algorithm, we inspired by the way a human user scans the page content for specific data. In particular, we use text fea...

with the increased confidence in the use of the internet and the world wide web, the number of electronic commerce (e-commerce) transactions is growing rapidly. therefore, finding useful patterns and rules of users’ behaviors has become the critical issue for e-commerce and can be used to tailor e-commerce services in order to successfully meet the customers’ needs. this paper proposes an appro...

For the sustainable use of groundwater, this study analyzed groundwater productivity-potential using a decision-tree approach in a geographic information system (GIS) in Boryeong and Pohang cities, Korea. The model was based on the relationship between groundwater-productivity data, including specific capacity (SPC), and its related hydrogeological factors. SPC data which is measured and calcul...

due to the quick growth of the world wide web, retrieval of useful informationfrom the internet for a particular web user or a group of users becomes verydifficult. recommendation systems using web usage mining help providing anadaptive web environment for the web users. this paper presents a novel approachfor page recommendation using fuzzy association rule mining algorithm. thismethod extract...

The World Wide Web (WWW) offers the potential to deliver specialized information to an audience of unprecedented size. Along with this exciting new opportunity comes a challenge for software developers: instead of rewriting our software applications to operate over the WWW, how can we maximize software reuse by retrofitting existing applications? We have developed a Web server tool, written in ...
