Shapelets are discriminative subsequences of time series, usually embedded in shapelet-based decision trees. The enumeration of time series shapelets is, however, computationally costly, which in addition to the inherent difficulty of the decision tree learning algorithm to effectively handle high-dimensional data, severely limits the applicability of shapelet-based decision tree learning from large (multivariate) time series databases. This paper introduces a novel tree-based ensemble method for univariate and multivariate time series classification using shapelets, called the generalized random shapelet forest algorithm. The algorithm generates a set of shapelet-based decision trees, where both the choice of instances used for building a tree and the choice of shapelets are randomized. For univariate time series, it is demonstrated through an extensive empirical investigation that the proposed algorithm yields predictive performance comparable to the current state-of-the-art and significantly outperforms several alternative algorithms, while being at least an order of magnitude faster. Similarly for multivariate time series, it is shown that the algorithm is significantly less computationally costly and more accurate than the current state-of-the-art. 相似文献

One class classification is a binary classification task for which only one class of samples is available for learning. In some preliminary works, we have proposed One Class Random Forests (OCRF), a method based on a random forest algorithm and an original outlier generation procedure that makes use of classifier ensemble randomization principles. In this paper, we propose an extensive study of the behavior of OCRF, that includes experiments on various UCI public datasets and comparison to reference one class namely, Gaussian density models, Parzen estimators, Gaussian mixture models and One Class SVMs—with statistical significance. Our aim is to show that the randomization principles embedded in a random forest algorithm make the outlier generation process more efficient, and allow in particular to break the curse of dimensionality. One Class Random Forests are shown to perform well in comparison to other methods, and in particular to maintain stable performance in higher dimension, while the other algorithms may fail. 相似文献

The random forests (RF) algorithm, which combines the predictions from an ensemble of random trees, has achieved significant
improvements in terms of classification accuracy. In many real-world applications, however, ranking is often required in order
to make optimal decisions. Thus, we focus our attention on the ranking performance of RF in this paper. Our experimental results
based on the entire 36 UC Irvine Machine Learning Repository (UCI) data sets published on the main website of Weka platform
show that RF doesn’t perform well in ranking, and is even about the same as a single C4.4 tree. This fact raises the question
of whether several improvements to RF can scale up its ranking performance. To answer this question, we single out an improved
random forests (IRF) algorithm. Instead of the information gain measure and the maximum-likelihood estimate, the average gain
measure and the similarity-weighted estimate are used in IRF. Our experiments show that IRF significantly outperforms all
the other algorithms used to compare in terms of ranking while maintains the high classification accuracy characterizing RF. 相似文献

The use of fuzzy sets to represent perfusion defects and to generate expert results to help in diagnosis is reported. Retrospective data collected from 91 patients who underwent both stress thallium-201 myocardial scintigraphy and coronary arteriography were used. Of the total, 64 scans were chosen at random for training, and the remaining 27 scans were used for testing data. It was found that 17 rules generated by fuzzy set theory performed as well as 68 rules specified by cardiologists in diagnosing coronary artery stenosis 相似文献

Successful use of probabilistic classification requires well-calibrated probability estimates, i.e., the predicted class probabilities must correspond to the true probabilities. In addition, a probabilistic classifier must, of course, also be as accurate as possible. In this paper, Venn predictors, and its special case Venn-Abers predictors, are evaluated for probabilistic classification, using random forests as the underlying models. Venn predictors output multiple probabilities for each label, i.e., the predicted label is associated with a probability interval. Since all Venn predictors are valid in the long run, the size of the probability intervals is very important, with tighter intervals being more informative. The standard solution when calibrating a classifier is to employ an additional step, transforming the outputs from a classifier into probability estimates, using a labeled data set not employed for training of the models. For random forests, and other bagged ensembles, it is, however, possible to use the out-of-bag instances for calibration, making all training data available for both model learning and calibration. This procedure has previously been successfully applied to conformal prediction, but was here evaluated for the first time for Venn predictors. The empirical investigation, using 22 publicly available data sets, showed that all four versions of the Venn predictors were better calibrated than both the raw estimates from the random forest, and the standard techniques Platt scaling and isotonic regression. Regarding both informativeness and accuracy, the standard Venn predictor calibrated on out-of-bag instances was the best setup evaluated. Most importantly, calibrating on out-of-bag instances, instead of using a separate calibration set, resulted in tighter intervals and more accurate models on every data set, for both the Venn predictors and the Venn-Abers predictors. 相似文献

Regression conformal prediction produces prediction intervals that are valid, i.e., the probability of excluding the correct target value is bounded by a predefined confidence level. The most important criterion when comparing conformal regressors is efficiency; the prediction intervals should be as tight (informative) as possible. In this study, the use of random forests as the underlying model for regression conformal prediction is investigated and compared to existing state-of-the-art techniques, which are based on neural networks and k-nearest neighbors. In addition to their robust predictive performance, random forests allow for determining the size of the prediction intervals by using out-of-bag estimates instead of requiring a separate calibration set. An extensive empirical investigation, using 33 publicly available data sets, was undertaken to compare the use of random forests to existing state-of-the-art conformal predictors. The results show that the suggested approach, on almost all confidence levels and using both standard and normalized nonconformity functions, produced significantly more efficient conformal predictors than the existing alternatives. 相似文献

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is comprised of a group of heterogeneous neurodevelopmental conditions, typically characterized by a triad of symptoms consisting of (1) impaired communication, (2) restricted interests, and (3) repetitive and stereotypical behavior pattern. An accurate and early diagnosis of autism can provide the basis for an appropriate educational and treatment program. In this work, we propose a computational model using a Multilayer Fuzzy Cognitive Map (hereafter referred to as MFCM) based on standardized behavioral assessments diagnosing the ASD (MFCM-ASD). The two standards used in the model are: the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition (ADOS2), and the Autism Diagnostic Interview Revised (ADIR). The MFCM’s are a soft computing technique characterized by robust properties that make it an effective technique for medical decision support systems. For the evaluation of the MFCM-ASD model, we have used real datasets of diagnosed cases, so as to compare against other method/approaches. Initial experiments demonstrated that the proposed model outperforms conventional Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs) for ASD diagnosis. Our MFCM-ASD model serves as a diagnostic tool required to support the medical decisions when determining the correct diagnosis of Autism in children with different cognitive characteristics. 相似文献

problems due to their non-parametric and non-linear behavior. However, one of their main drawbacks is the training time complexity
which scales cubically with the number of samples. Our work addresses this issue by combining Gaussian Processes with Randomized
Decision Forests to enable fast learning. An important advantage of our method is its simplicity and the ability to directly

We propose a new differentially-private decision forest algorithm that minimizes both the number of queries required, and the sensitivity of those queries. To do so, we build an ensemble of random decision trees that avoids querying the private data except to find the majority class label in the leaf nodes. Rather than using a count query to return the class counts like the current state-of-the-art, we use the Exponential Mechanism to only output the class label itself. This drastically reduces the sensitivity of the query – often by several orders of magnitude – which in turn reduces the amount of noise that must be added to preserve privacy. Our improved sensitivity is achieved by using “smooth sensitivity”, which takes into account the specific data used in the query rather than assuming the worst-case scenario. We also extend work done on the optimal depth of random decision trees to handle continuous features, not just discrete features. This, along with several other improvements, allows us to create a differentially private decision forest with substantially higher predictive power than the current state-of-the-art. 相似文献

Much of previous attention on decision trees focuses on the splitting criteria and optimization of tree sizes. The dilemma between overfitting and achieving maximum accuracy is seldom resolved. A method to construct a decision tree based classifier is proposed that maintains highest accuracy on training data and improves on generalization accuracy as it grows in complexity. The classifier consists of multiple trees constructed systematically by pseudorandomly selecting subsets of components of the feature vector, that is, trees constructed in randomly chosen subspaces. The subspace method is compared to single-tree classifiers and other forest construction methods by experiments on publicly available datasets, where the method's superiority is demonstrated. We also discuss independence between trees in a forest and relate that to the combined classification accuracy 相似文献

Random forests is currently one of the most used machine learning algorithms in the non-streaming (batch) setting. This preference is attributable to its high learning performance and low demands with respect to input preparation and hyper-parameter tuning. However, in the challenging context of evolving data streams, there is no random forests algorithm that can be considered state-of-the-art in comparison to bagging and boosting based algorithms. In this work, we present the adaptive random forest (ARF) algorithm for classification of evolving data streams. In contrast to previous attempts of replicating random forests for data stream learning, ARF includes an effective resampling method and adaptive operators that can cope with different types of concept drifts without complex optimizations for different data sets. We present experiments with a parallel implementation of ARF which has no degradation in terms of classification performance in comparison to a serial implementation, since trees and adaptive operators are independent from one another. Finally, we compare ARF with state-of-the-art algorithms in a traditional test-then-train evaluation and a novel delayed labelling evaluation, and show that ARF is accurate and uses a feasible amount of resources. 相似文献

Seasonality effects and empirical regularities in financial data have been well documented in the financial economics literature for over seven decades. This paper proposes an expert system that uses novel machine learning techniques to predict the price return over these seasonal events, and then uses these predictions to develop a profitable trading strategy. While simple approaches to trading these regularities can prove profitable, such trading leads to potential large drawdowns (peak-to-trough decline of an investment measured as a percentage between the peak and the trough) in profit. In this paper, we introduce an automated trading system based on performance weighted ensembles of random forests that improves the profitability and stability of trading seasonality events. An analysis of various regression techniques is performed as well as an exploration of the merits of various techniques for expert weighting. The performance of the models is analysed using a large sample of stocks from the DAX. The results show that recency-weighted ensembles of random forests produce superior results in terms of both profitability and prediction accuracy compared with other ensemble techniques. It is also found that using seasonality effects produces superior results than not having them modelled explicitly. 相似文献

Cardiovascular disease accompanied by arrhythmia reduces an individual’s lifespan and health, and long term ECG monitoring would generate large amounts of data. Fortunately, arrhythmia classification assisted by computer science would greatly improve the efficiency of doctors’ diagnoses. However, due to individual differences, noise affecting the signal, the great variety of arrhythmias, and heavy computing workload, it is difficult to implement these advanced techniques for clinical context analysis. Thus, this paper proposes a comprehensive approach based on discrete wavelet and random forest techniques for arrhythmia classification. Specifically, discrete wavelet transformation is used to remove high-frequency noise and baseline drift, while discrete wavelet transformation, autocorrelation, principal component analysis, variances and other mathematical methods are used to extract frequency-domain features, time-domain features and morphology features. Furthermore, an arrhythmia classification system is developed, and its availability is verified that the proposed scheme can significantly be used for guidance and reference in clinical arrhythmia automatic classification. 相似文献
