Learning Generalization

The manual classification of a large amount of textual materials are very costly in time and personnel. For this reason, a lot of research has been devoted to the problem of automatic classification and work on the subject dates from 1960. A lot of text classification software has appeared. For some tasks, automatic classifiers perform almost as well as humans, but for others, the gap is still large. These systems are directly related to machine learning. It aims to achieve tasks normally affordable only by humans. There are generally two types of learning: learning “by heart,” which consists of storing information as is, and learning generalization, where we learn from examples. In this chapter, the authors address the classification concept in detail and how to solve different classification problems using different machine learning techniques.

Rule Based Approach

Text classification has grown into more significant in managing and organizing the text data due to tremendous growth of online information. It does classification of documents in to fixed number of predefined categories. Rule based approach and Machine learning approach are the two ways of text classification. In rule based approach, classification of documents is done based on manually defined rules. In Machine learning based approach, classification rules or classifier are defined automatically using example documents. It has higher recall and quick process. This paper shows an investigation on text classification utilizing different machine learning techniques.

Machine Learning Tool

This research examines industry-based dissertation research in a doctoral computing program through the lens of machine learning algorithms to understand topics explored by senior and experienced full-time working professionals (EFWPs).  Our research categorizes dissertation by both their abstracts and by their full-text using the Graplab Create library from Apple’s Turi. We also compare the dissertation categorizations using IBM’s Watson Discovery deep machine learning tool.  Our research provides perspectives on the practicality of the manual classification of technical documents; and, it provides insights into the: (1) categories of academic work created by EFWPs in a Computing doctoral program, (2) viability of automated categorization versus human abstraction, and (3) differences in categorization algorithms.

Diagnostic Detection

Accurate diagnostic detection of the disease in a patient is critical and may alter the subsequent treatment and increase the chances of survival rate. Machine learning techniques have been instrumental in disease detection and are currently being used in various classification problems due to their accurate prediction performance. Various techniques may provide different desired accuracies and it is therefore imperative to use the most suitable method which provides the best desired results. This research seeks to provide comparative analysis of Support Vector Machine, Naïve bayes, J48 Decision Tree and neural network classifiers breast cancer and diabetes datsets.
