ClasSi: Measuring Ranking Quality in the Presence of Object Classes with Similarity Information
نویسندگان
چکیده
The quality of rankings can be evaluated by computing their correlation to an optimal ranking. State of the art ranking correlation coefficients like Kendall’s τ and Spearman’s ρ do not allow for the user to specify similarities between differing object classes and thus treat the transposition of objects from similar classes the same way as that of objects from dissimilar classes. We propose ClasSi, a new ranking correlation coefficient which deals with class label rankings and employs a class distance function to model the similarities between the classes. We also introduce a graphical representation of ClasSi akin to the ROC curve which describes how the correlation evolves throughout the ranking.

Measuring the Similarity of Trajectories Using Fuzzy Theory
In recent years, with the advancement of positioning systems, access to a large amount of movement data is provided. Among the methods of discovering knowledge from this type of data is to measure the similarity of trajectories resulting from the movement of objects. Similarity measurement has also been used in other data mining methods such as classification and clustering and is currently, an...
متن کاملA revised Fuzzy - PROMETHEE method , using Fuzzy Distance and Similarity Measures
PROMETHEE refers to a collection of methods of ranking in the field of multi-criteria decision making. These methods are characterized by conceptual simplicity and practical applicability. However, the nature of phenomena involving decision-making in real world leads us to use fuzzy method of preference ranking. The most common criticism on mathematical ranking procedures is that they tend to d...
متن کاملObject Level Strategy for Spectral Quality Assessment of High Resolution Pan-sharpen Images
Panchromatic and multi-spectral images produced by the remote sensing satellites are fused together to provide a multi-spectral image with a high spatial resolution at the same time. The spectral quality of the fused images is very important because the quality of a large number of remote sensing products depends on it. Due to the importance of the spectral quality of the fused images, its eval...
متن کاملA Geometry Preserving Kernel over Riemannian Manifolds
Abstract- Kernel trick and projection to tangent spaces are two choices for linearizing the data points lying on Riemannian manifolds. These approaches are used to provide the prerequisites for applying standard machine learning methods on Riemannian manifolds. Classical kernels implicitly project data to high dimensional feature space without considering the intrinsic geometry of data points. ...
متن کاملGrouping Objects to Homogeneous Classes Satisfying Requisite Mass
Grouping datasets plays an important role in many scientific researches. Depending on data features and applications, different constrains are imposed on groups, while having groups with similar members is always a main criterion. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for grouping the objects with random labels, nominal features having too many nominal attributes. In addition, the size constra...
