Truly Unordered Probabilistic Rule Sets for Multi-class Classification

1 code implementation17 Jun 2022 Lincen Yang, Matthijs van Leeuwen

Still, existing methods have several shortcomings: 1) most recent methods require a binary feature matrix as input, while learning rules directly from numeric variables is understudied; 2) existing methods impose orders among rules, either explicitly or implicitly, which harms interpretability; and 3) currently no method exists for learning probabilistic rule sets for multi-class target variables (there is only one for probabilistic rule lists).

Estimating Conditional Mutual Information for Discrete-Continuous Mixtures using Multi-Dimensional Adaptive Histograms

1 code implementation13 Jan 2021 Alexander Marx, Lincen Yang, Matthijs van Leeuwen

Further, we show that CMI can be consistently estimated for discrete-continuous mixture variables by learning an adaptive histogram model.

Unsupervised Discretization by Two-dimensional MDL-based Histogram

1 code implementation2 Jun 2020 Lincen Yang, Mitra Baratchi, Matthijs van Leeuwen

As the flexibility of our model class comes at the cost of a vast search space, we introduce a heuristic algorithm, named PALM, which Partitions each dimension ALternately and then Merges neighboring regions, all using the MDL principle.
