TLDR
This work proposes a reinforced random forest (RRF) classifier that exploits reinforcement learning to improve classification accuracy and achieves at least 3% improvement in F-measure compared to random forest in three breast cancer datasets.Abstract:
Reinforcement learning improves classification accuracy. But use of reinforcement learning is relatively unexplored in case of random forest classifier. We propose a reinforced random forest (RRF) classifier that exploits reinforcement learning to improve classification accuracy. Our algorithm is initialized with a forest. Then the entire training data is tested using the initial forest. In order to reinforce learning, we use mis-classified data points to grow certain number of new trees. A subset of the new trees is added to the existing forest using a novel graph-based approach. We show that addition of these trees ensures improvement in classification accuracy. This process is continued iteratively until classification accuracy saturates. The proposed RRF has low computational burden. We achieve at least 3% improvement in F-measure compared to random forest in three breast cancer datasets. Results on benchmark datasets show significant reduction in average classification error.read more

Semi-Supervised Learning
TL;DR: Semi-supervised learning (SSL) as discussed by the authors is the middle ground between supervised learning (in which all training examples are labeled) and unsupervised training (where no label data are given).

Exploratory Undersampling for Class-Imbalance Learning
TL;DR: Experiments show that the proposed algorithms, BalanceCascade and EasyEnsemble, have better AUC scores than many existing class-imbalance learning methods and have approximately the same training time as that of under-sampling, which trains significantly faster than other methods.
