On the Use of Fast Subsampling Estimates for Algorithm Recommendation
- The use of subsampling for scaling up the performance of learning algorithms has become fairly popular in the recent literature. In this paper, we investigate the use of performance estimates obtained on a subsample of the data for the task of recommending the best learning algorithm(s) for the p

A Comparison of Ranking Methods for Classification Algorithm Selection
- . We investigate the problem of using past performance information to select an algorithm for a given classification problem. We present three ranking methods for that purpose: average ranks, success rate ratios and significant wins. We also analyze the problem of evaluating and comparing these

Using Meta-Learning to Support Data Mining
- Current data mining tools are characterized by a plethora of algorithms but a lack of guidelines to select the right method according to the nature of the problem under analysis. Producing such guidelines is a primary goal by the field of meta-learning; the research objective is to understand the in
