Estimating Conditional Mutual Information for Discrete-Continuous Mixtures using Multi-Dimensional Adaptive Histograms
Alexander Marx, Lincen Yang, Matthijs van Leeuwen
Estimating conditional mutual information (CMI) is an essential yet challenging step in many machine learning and data mining tasks. Estimating CMI from data that contains both dis…
Discovering outstanding subgroup lists for numeric targets using MDL
Hugo M. Proença, Peter Grünwald, Thomas Bäck +1
The task of subgroup discovery (SD) is to find interpretable descriptions of subsets of a dataset that stand out with respect to a target attribute. To address the problem of minin…
Vouw: Geometric Pattern Mining using the MDL Principle
Micky Faas, Matthijs van Leeuwen
We introduce geometric pattern mining, the problem of finding recurring local structure in discrete, geometric matrices. It differs from existing pattern mining problems by identif…
Interpretable multiclass classification by MDL-based rule lists
Hugo M. Proença, Matthijs van Leeuwen
Interpretable classifiers have recently witnessed an increase in attention from the data mining community because they are inherently easier to understand and explain than their mo…
