Supervised learning : Given a set of N training examples of the form ,y_),...,(x_,\;y_)\ such that x i is the feature vector of the i -th example and y i is its label (i.e., class), a learning algorithm seeks a function g : X → Y , where X is the input space and Y is the output space. The function g is an elem...
Supervised learning : The training methods described above are discriminative training methods, because they seek to find a function g that discriminates well between the different output values (see discriminative model). For the special case where f ( x , y ) = P ( x , y ) is a joint probability distribution and th...
Supervised learning : There are several ways in which the standard supervised learning problem can be generalized: Semi-supervised learning or weak supervision: the desired output values are provided only for a subset of the training data. The remaining data is unlabeled or imprecisely labeled. Active learning: Instead...

Associative classifier : An associative classifier (AC) is a kind of supervised learning model that uses association rules to assign a target value. The term associative classification was coined by Bing Liu et al., in which the authors defined a model made of rules "whose right-hand side are restricted to the classifi...
Associative classifier : The model generated by an AC and used to label new records consists of association rules, where the consequent corresponds to the class label. As such, they can also be seen as a list of "if-then" clauses: if the record matches some criteria (expressed in the left side of the rule, also called ...
Associative classifier : The rules of an AC inherit some of the metrics of association rules, like the support or the confidence. Metrics can be used to order or filter the rules in the model and to evaluate their quality.
Associative classifier : The first proposal of a classification model made of association rules was FBM. The approach was popularized by CBA, although other authors had also previously proposed the mining of association rules for classification. Other authors have since then proposed multiple changes to the initial mod...

Structured kNN : As a training set, SkNN accepts sequences of elements with class labels. The type of element does not matter; the only requirement is a defined metric function that gives a distance between each pair of elements of a set. SkNN is based on idea of creating a graph, with each node representing a class la...
Structured kNN : Labelling input sequences by SkNN consists of finding the sequence of transitions in the graph, starting from node START. Each transition corresponds to a single element of the input sequence. As a result, the label of each element is determined as the target node label of the transition. The cost of t...
