SMART HYBRID MODELS FOR IMPROVED BREAST CANCER DETECTION [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings on Engineering Sciences
Breast cancer (BC) ranks the second most prevalent cancer among women globally and is the leading cause of female mortality. The conventional method for BC detection primarily relies on biopsy; this might be time-consuming and error prone.

Sustainable Investing and the Cross-Section of Maximum Drawdown [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
We use supervised learning to identify factors that predict the cross-section of maximum drawdown for stocks in the US equity market. Our data run from January 1980 to June 2018 and our analysis includes ordinary least squares, penalized linear ...

dPromoter-XGBoost: Detecting promoters and strength by combining multiple descriptors and feature selection using XGBoost

open access: yesMethods, 2022
Promoters play an irreplaceable role in biological processes and genetics, which are responsible for stimulating the transcription and expression of specific genes. Promoter abnormalities have been found in some diseases, and the level of promoter-binding transcription factors can be used as a marker before a disease occurs.

Sales Forecasting using XGBoost

open access: yes, 2022
<p>This study intends to investigate several machine learning algorithms for sales forecasting strategies. A retailer can use this to predict future market demand and adjust its inventory levels accordingly. The accuracy of these predictions will determine whether the retailer profits or suffers losses.

Learning to Tune XGBoost with XGBoost

open access: yes, 2019
In this short paper we investigate whether meta-learning techniques can be used to more effectively tune the hyperparameters of machine learning models using successive halving (SH). We propose a novel variant of the SH algorithm (MeSH), that uses meta-regressors to determine which candidate configurations should be eliminated at each round.

Generalized XGBoost Method

open access: yes, 2021
The XGBoost method has many advantages and is especially suitable for statistical analysis of big data, but its loss function is limited to convex functions. In many specific applications, a nonconvex loss function would be preferable. In this paper, I propose a generalized XGBoost method, which requires weaker loss function constraint and involves ...

Feature Interactions in XGBoost

open access: yes, 2020
In this paper, we investigate how feature interactions can be identified to be used as constraints in the gradient boosting tree models using XGBoost's implementation. Our results show that accurate identification of these constraints can help improve the performance of baseline XGBoost model significantly.
