A probabilistic examplar based model (1998)
Thesis
Rodriguez Martinez, A. A probabilistic examplar based model. (Thesis). University of Salford

A central problem in case based reasoning (CBR) is how to store and retrieve
cases. One approach to this problem is to use exemplar based models, where only
the prototypical cases are stored. However, the development of an exemplar based
model (EB... Read More about A probabilistic examplar based model.

Elliptical cost-sensitive decision tree algorithm - ECSDT
Thesis
Kassim, M. (in press). Elliptical cost-sensitive decision tree algorithm - ECSDT. (Thesis). University of Salford

Cost-sensitive multiclass classification problems, in which the task of assessing the impact of the costs associated with different misclassification errors, continues to be one of the major challenging areas for data mining and machine learning....

A framework for employee appraisals based on inductive logic programming and data mining methods
Thesis
Aqel, D. A framework for employee appraisals based on inductive logic programming and data mining methods. (Thesis). University of Salford

Employee performance appraisal systems are widely regarded as fundamental for evaluating employees’ performance and enhancing organisations’ success. Yet, there is evidence that employees doubt their benefits and fairness, organisations find them dif...

Cost-sensitive decision tree learning using a multi-armed bandit framework
Thesis
Lomax, S. Cost-sensitive decision tree learning using a multi-armed bandit framework. (Thesis). University of Salford

Decision tree learning is one of the main methods of learning from data. It has been applied to a variety of different domains over the past three decades. In the real world, accuracy is not enough; there are costs involved, those of obtaining the da... Read More about Cost-sensitive decision tree learning using a multi-armed bandit framework.
