assessing the performance of supervised classification rules, and we suggest guidelines for …

Addressing the selective superiority problem: Automatic algorithm/model class selection

CE Brodley - Proceedings of the tenth international conference …, 1993 - books.google.com
The results of empirical comparisons of existing learning algorithms illustrate that each
algorithm has a selective superiority; it is best for some but not all tasks. Given a data set, it is …

A comparison of ranking methods for classification algorithm selection

PB Brazdil, C Soares - Machine Learning: ECML 2000: 11th European …, 2000 - Springer
We investigate the problem of using past performance information to select an algorithm for
a given classification problem. We present three ranking methods for that purpose: average …

Accuracy measures for the comparison of classifiers

V Labatut, H Cherifi - arXiv preprint arXiv:1207.3790, 2012 - arxiv.org
The selection of the best classification algorithm for a given dataset is a very widespread
problem. It is also a complex one, in the sense it requires to make several important …

Recursive automatic bias selection for classifier construction

CE Brodley - Machine Learning, 1995 - Springer
