Talk:C4.5 algorithm
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I believe I've considerably cleaned it up. However, I don't usually edit Wikipedia pages and it could probably be brought up to speed Wikipedia-wise Weston.pace 22:47, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
I agree. I hope the original author decides to edit -- This reads like notes taken during a lecture. Fonny 13:18, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
C4.5 is considered to be pretty important in the machine learning community (at least, I see it a lot in papers about text classification -- usually being beaten by support vector machines on particular datasets) so this page is noteworthy. However, it has terrible English. I'm not familiar enough with the software/algorithm(s) involved to edit it seriously. Whenning 05:23, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Discussion of improvements
This article and the restatement of ID3 should be replaced with an explanation of the improvements offered by C4.5. From the article:
- Choosing an appropriate attribute selection measure.
- Handling training data with missing attribute values.
- Handling attributes with differing costs.
- Handling continuous attributes.
What does C4.5 do in each of these areas? Details about the implementation are useless! --Beefyt 21:55, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] J48 algorithm
J48 redirects to this page, though this article doesn't mention it.. are there significant differences between C4.5 and J48 or is J48 no more than a Java implementation of C4.5? Thanks, Simeon87 (talk) 12:16, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
