Framework for integration of domain knowledge into logistic regression

TLDR
This work proposes a framework that integrates domain knowledge in form of hierarchies into machine learning models, namely logistic regression, and shows that the proposed framework yields better results compared to standardLogistic regression model.
Abstract
Traditionally, machine learning extracts knowledge solely based on data. However, huge volume of knowledge is available in other sources which can be included into machine learning models. Still, domain knowledge is rarely used in machine learning. We propose a framework that integrates domain knowledge in form of hierarchies into machine learning models, namely logistic regression. Integration of the hierarchies is done by using stacking (stacked generalization). We show that the proposed framework yields better results compared to standard logistic regression model. The framework is tested on the binary classification problem for predicting 30-days hospital readmission. Results suggest that the proposed framework improves AUC (area under the curve) compared to logistic regression models unaware of domain knowledge by 9% on average.

Profiling Environmental Conditions from DNA.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that genomic DNA may also encode sufficient information about some environmental features of an organism’s habitat for a machine learning model to reveal them, although there seem to be exceptions, which lead directly to the question of whether over evolutionary history, DNA itself is actually also a repository of information related to the environment where the lineage has developed.

MetaCost: a general method for making classifiers cost-sensitive

TL;DR: A principled method for making an arbitrary classifier cost-sensitive by wrapping a cost-minimizing procedure around it is proposed, called MetaCost, which treats the underlying classifier as a black box, requiring no knowledge of its functioning or change to it.
