A Hierarchical Multi-Output Nearest Neighbor Model for Multi-Output Dependence Learning

Richard G. Morris, Tony Martinez, Michael R. Smith

Multi-Output Dependence (MOD) learning is a generalization of standard classification problems that allows for multiple outputs that are dependent on each other. A primary issue th…

Recommending Learning Algorithms and Their Associated Hyperparameters

Michael R. Smith, Logan Mitchell, Christophe Giraud-Carrier +1

The success of machine learning on a given task dependson, among other things, which learning algorithm is selected and its associated hyperparameters. Selecting an appropriate lea…

A Hybrid Latent Variable Neural Network Model for Item Recommendation

Michael R. Smith, Tony Martinez, Michael Gashler

Collaborative filtering is used to recommend items to a user without requiring a knowledge of the item itself and tends to outperform other techniques. However, collaborative filte…

An Easy to Use Repository for Comparing and Improving Machine Learning Algorithm Usage

Michael R. Smith, Andrew White, Christophe Giraud-Carrier +1

The results from most machine learning experiments are used for a specific purpose and then discarded. This results in a significant loss of information and requires rerunning expe…

Reducing the Effects of Detrimental Instances

Michael R. Smith, Tony Martinez

Not all instances in a data set are equally beneficial for inducing a model of the data. Some instances (such as outliers or noise) can be detrimental. However, at least initially,…

The Potential Benefits of Filtering Versus Hyper-Parameter Optimization

Michael R. Smith, Tony Martinez, Christophe Giraud-Carrier

The quality of an induced model by a learning algorithm is dependent on the quality of the training data and the hyper-parameters supplied to the learning algorithm. Prior work has…
