Cost-Sensitive Machine Learning

Editat de Balaji Krishnapuram, Shipeng Yu, R. Bharat Rao
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 sep 2019

In machine learning applications, practitioners must take into account the cost associated with the algorithm. These costs include:







  • Cost of acquiring training data


  • Cost of data annotation/labeling and cleaning


  • Computational cost for model fitting, validation, and testing


  • Cost of collecting features/attributes for test data


  • Cost of user feedback collection


  • Cost of incorrect prediction/classification




Cost-Sensitive Machine Learning is one of the first books to provide an overview of the current research efforts and problems in this area. It discusses real-world applications that incorporate the cost of learning into the modeling process.





The first part of the book presents the theoretical underpinnings of cost-sensitive machine learning. It describes well-established machine learning approaches for reducing data acquisition costs during training as well as approaches for reducing costs when systems must make predictions for new samples. The second part covers real-world applications that effectively trade off different types of costs. These applications not only use traditional machine learning approaches, but they also incorporate cutting-edge research that advances beyond the constraining assumptions by analyzing the application needs from first principles.





Spurring further research on several open problems, this volume highlights the often implicit assumptions in machine learning techniques that were not fully understood in the past. The book also illustrates the commercial importance of cost-sensitive machine learning through its coverage of the rapid application developments made by leading companies and academic research labs.
