MOCA-I: Discovering Rules and Guiding Decision Maker in the Context of Partial Classification in Large and Imbalanced Datasets
Résumé
This paper focuses on the modeling and the implementation as a multi-objective optimization problem of a Pittsburgh classification rule mining algorithm adapted to large and imbalanced datasets, as encountered in hospital data. We associate to this algorithm an original post-processing method based on ROC curve to help the decision maker to choose the most interesting rules. After an introduction to problems brought by hospital data such as class imbalance, volumetry or inconsistency, we present MOCA-I - a Pittsburgh modelization adapted to this kind of problems. We propose its implementation as a dominance-based local search in opposition to existing multi-objective approaches based on genetic algorithms. Then we introduce the post-processing method to sort and filter the obtained classifiers. Our approach is compared to state-of-the-art classification rule mining algorithms, giving as good or better results, using less parameters. Then it is compared to C4.5 and C4.5-CS on hospital data with a larger set of attributes, giving the best results.
