摘要
En 中文
We address the problem of quantification, a supervised learning task whose goal is, given a class, to estimate the relative frequency (or prevalence) of the class in a dataset of unlabeled items. Quantification has several applications in data and text mining, such as estimating the prevalence of positive reviews in a set of reviews of a given product or estimating the prevalence of a given support issue in a dataset of transcripts of phone calls to tech support. So far, quantification has been addressed by learning a general-purpose classifier, counting the unlabeled items that have been assigned the class, and tuning the obtained counts according to some heuristics. In this article, we depart from the tradition of using general-purpose classifiers and use instead a supervised learning model for structured prediction, capable of generating classifiers directly optimized for the (multivariate and nonlinear) function used for evaluating quantification accuracy. The experiments that we have run on 5,500 binary high-dimensional datasets (averaging more than 14,000 documents each) show that this method is more accurate, more stable, and more efficient than existing state-of-the-art quantification methods.
