Cost Sensitive Learning
Cost Sensitive Learning | |||||||
Classification problems such as fraud detection, medical diagnosis, or object detection in computer vision, are naturally cost sensitive. In these problems the cost of missing a target is much higher than that of a false-positive, and classifiers that are optimal under symmetric costs (such as the popular zero-one loss) tend to under perform. The design of optimal classifiers with respect to losses that weigh certain types of errors more heavily than others is denoted as cost-sensitive learning. | |||||||
