• Title: QCBA: Improving Rule Classifiers Learned from Quantitative Data by Recovering Information Lost by Discretisation
• Authors: Tomas Kliegr, Ebroul Izquierdo
• Abstract summary: This paper describes new rule tuning steps that aim to recover lost information in the discretisation and new pruning techniques. The proposed QCBA method was initially developed to postprocess quantitative attributes in models generated by the Classification based on associations (CBA) algorithm. Benchmarks on 22 datasets from the UCI repository show smaller size and the overall best predictive performance for FOIL2+QCBA compared to all seven baselines.

• Abstract: A prediscretisation of numerical attributes which is required by some rule learning algorithms is a source of inefficiencies. This paper describes new rule tuning steps that aim to recover lost information in the discretisation and new pruning techniques that may further reduce the size of rule models and improve their accuracy. The proposed QCBA method was initially developed to postprocess quantitative attributes in models generated by the Classification based on associations (CBA) algorithm, but it can also be applied to the results of other rule learning approaches. We demonstrate the effectiveness on the postprocessing of models generated by five association rule classification algorithms (CBA, CMAR, CPAR, IDS, SBRL) and two first-order logic rule learners (FOIL2 and PRM). Benchmarks on 22 datasets from the UCI repository show smaller size and the overall best predictive performance for FOIL2+QCBA compared to all seven baselines. Postoptimised CBA models have a better predictive performance compared to the state-of-the-art rule learner CORELS in this benchmark. The article contains an ablation study for the individual postprocessing steps and a scalability analysis on the KDD'99 Anomaly detection dataset.

  The quality of training data significantly impacts the performance of large language models (LLMs) There are increasing studies using LLMs to rate and select data based on several human-crafted metrics (rules) These conventional rule-based approaches often depend too heavily on human vectorss, lack effective metrics for assessing rules, and exhibit limited adaptability to new tasks.

We use Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) to iteratively collect preference data, utilizing its look-ahead ability to break down instance-level rewards into more granular step-level signals. The proposed algorithm employs Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) to update the LLM policy using this newly generated step-level preference data.

  Existing Class Incremental Learning (CIL) methods are based on a supervised classification framework sensitive to data labels. When updating them based on the new class data, they suffer from catastrophic forgetting: the model cannot discern old class data clearly from the new. In this paper, we explore the performance of Self-Supervised representation learning in Class Incremental Learning (SSCIL) for the first time.

  Few-shot class-incremental learning (FSCIL) aims to design machine learning algorithms that can continually learn new concepts from a few data points. The difficulty lies in that limited data from new classes not only lead to significant overfitting issues but also exacerbate the notorious catastrophic forgetting problems. We propose a Continually Evolved CIF ( CEC) that employs a graph model to propagate context information between classifiers for adaptation.
