Abstract:
The secondary structure of proteins is predicted using various binary classifiers. The data are adopted from the RS126 database. The original data consists of protein primary and secondary structure sequences. The original data is encoded using alphabetic letters. These data are encoded into unary vectors comprising ones and zeros only. Different binary classifiers, namely the naive Bayes, logistic regression and classification trees using hold-out and 5-fold cross validation are trained using the encoded data. For each of the classifiers three classification tasks are considered, namely helix

Abstract:
Two methods of designing a point classifier are discussed in this paper, one is a binary decision tree classifier based on the Fisher's linear discriminant function as a decision rule at each nonterminal node, and the other is a contextual classifier which gives each pixel the highest probability label given some substantially sized context including the pixel. Experiments were performed both on a simulated image and real images to illustrate the improvement of the classification accuracy over the conventional single-stage Bayes classifier under Gaussian distribution assumption.<br>Master of

Abstract:
Supervised machine learning models are increasingly being used for medical diagnosis. The diagnostic problem is formulated as a binary classification task in which trained classifiers make predictions based on a set of input features. In diagnosis, these features are typically procedures or tests with associated costs. The cost of applying a trained classifier for diagnosis may be estimated as the total cost of obtaining values for the features that serve as inputs for the classifier. Obtaining classifiers based on a low cost set of input features with acceptable classification accuracy is of

The security of a steganography system is defined by our ability to detect it. It is of no surprise then that steganography and steganalysis both depend heavily on the accuracy and robustness of our detectors. This is especially true when real-world data is considered, due to its heterogeneity. The difficulty of such data manifests itself in a penalty that has periodically been reported to affect the performance of detectors built on binary classifiers; this is known as cover source mismatch. It remains unclear how the performance drop that is associated with cover source mismatch is mitigated

Abstract:
It is well known that programs exhibit time varying behavior. For example, some parts of the execution are memory bound while others are CPU bound. Periods of stable behavior are called program phases. Classifying the program behavior by the average over the whole execution can therefore be misleading, i.e., the program would appear to be neither CPU bound nor memory bound. As several important dynamic optimizations are done differently depending on the program behavior, it is important to keep track of what phase the program is currently executing and to predict what phase it will enter next.
