Abstract
En 中文
A data mining algorithm may perform differently on datasets with different characteristics, e.g., it might perform better on a dataset with continuous attributes rather than with categorical attributes, or the other way around. Typically, a dataset needs to be pre-processed before being mined. Taking into account all the possible preprocessing operators, there exists a staggeringly large number of alternatives. As a consequence, non-experienced users become overwhelmed with pre-processing alternatives. In this paper, we show that the problem can be addressed by automating the pre-processing with the support of meta-learning. To this end, we analyzed a wide range of data pre-processing techniques and a set of classification algorithms. For each classification algorithm that we consider and a given dataset, we are able to automatically suggest the transformations that improve the quality of the results of the algorithm on the dataset. Our approach will help non-expert users to more effectively identify the transformations appropriate to their applications, and hence to achieve improved results. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V.
