The paper discusses the use of decision trees for probability-based ranking. Emphasis is placed on ranking problems in question answering, where the frequency of correct candidates is very low but a single correct answer at one of the top ranks is often sufficient. Since existing tree learners handle this task poorly, decision tree induction is reformulated in such a way

This paper describes an application of CBR with decision tree induction in a manufacturing setting to analyze the cause for defects reoccurring in the domain. Abstraction of domain knowledge is made possible by integrating CBR with decision trees. The CID approach augments the recall and reuse done by CBR with statistical analysis that is focused towards the discovery of connections between specific defects and their possible causes. We show that this discovery also gives a pointer towards a corresponding corrective action.

Machine learning has been identified as a promising approach to knowledge-based system development. This study focused on the use of decision-tree induction for knowledge acquisition to filter individual-cow lactations for group-average lactation curve analysis. Data consisted of 1428 cases, classified by a dairy-nutrition specialist as outliers (34 cases) or non-outliers. The classification performance was estimated through 10-fold cross validation. A

We present an analysis of partial automation of content analysis using machine learning methods. We use a decision-tree induction system to learn from manually categorized negotiation transcripts of electronic buyer–seller negotiations. The data we use were gathered using the Web-based negotiation support systems Inspire and SimpleNS. We experiment with various ways of representing the data to find the solution that gives the best results. The experiments show that we can identify, in relatively small data sets, linguistic features of interest for the detection of negotiation behaviour and negotiation-specific topics.

The objective was to develop and validate a clinical mastitis (CM) detection model by means of decision-tree induction. For farmers milking with an automatic milking system (AMS), it is desirable that the detection model has a high level of sensitivity (Se), especially for more severe cases of CM, at a very high specificity (Sp). In addition, an alert for CM should be generated preferably at the quarter milking (QM) at which the CM infection is visible for the first time. Data were collected from 9 Dutch dairy herds milking automatically during a 2.5-yr period. Data included sensor data (electrical conductivity, color, and yield) at the QM level and visual observations of quarters with CM recorded by the farmers. Visual observations of quarters with CM were combined with sensor data of the most recent automatic milking recorded for that same quarter, within a 24-h time window before the visual assessment time. Sensor data of 3.5 million QM were collected, of which 348 QM were combin...

Traditional Genetic Algorithms (GA) use crossover and mutation as the main genetic operators to achieve population diversity. Previous work using a biologically inspired genetic operator called transposition, allowed the GA to reach better solutions by replacing the traditional crossover operators. In this paper we extend that work to the case of asexual reproduction. The GA efficiency was compared when using
