SMART HYBRID MODELS FOR IMPROVED BREAST CANCER DETECTION [PDF]
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.

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.

Learning to Tune XGBoost with XGBoost
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.

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
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.
