[SOLVED] Training a classifier to have an else statement

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to train a classifier so that it can classify a data as true, false and "unclassified" depending on the data set. The output should be that if the data is within or is relation to the data set, it will be classified accordingly. If not, it should be classified as "unclassified".

Currently i only have a process that can classify true/false. Is there a process in rapid miner in which i can include the unclassified class or do i need to add "unclassified" data into my data set for it to work?

Our data is about health beliefs involving asthma and diabetes. Whenever it is not included in our data set, it should be unclassified.

Sample data:
Tweet                                              Category
diabetes causes heart problems false
Diabetes causes shingles         false
Dirt treats Asthma                       false
oatmeal medicates diabetes           true
Obesity causes Asthma        true
Obesity causes Diabetes        true

    Hello,

    what you could do is relabel everything between 0.4 and 0.6 as "unknown". The effect would be, that you call everything, where the classifier is unsure "unknown". I this what you want?

    The drop uncertain operator may help you in this case

    Yes! that is what i'd like to happen. The model should classify unsure data as "unknown". Thank you for your input! i will try it out and see how it works. Thanks!

    I've done something similar in this thread: http://rapid-i.com/rapidforum/index.php/topic,8416.0.html

    But there was the third class already avaible. It might help you.

    If you need further help, just post here,than i'll create an example process

    Hello,

    Thank you for your help. I've read through link you gave me. I might be able to use the generate attribute using expressions to handle this problem.

    Problems im going through right now is the values i should use as minimum and maximum confidence. The data set i'm trying to use is diverse compared to the data im trying to categorize (confidence values like 0.550 is still correct).

    Also with regards to having three class, i'm not able to use 3 class since our thesis is focused on three classifiers (Naive, SVM). I tried using Naive bayes but it has confidence values of almost all of them as 1.

    Thank you for you help! We're really new to rapid miner so your help is greatly appreciated.

    Best,
    Yvan

    I would go for Drop Uncertain in a cross validation.

    You can then have a loop or Optimize operator around and simply try out every cut on the confidences (and your SVM parameters).

    Attached is a process doing it on Sonar. It delivers the best performance and logs all performances for the differen values at drop uncertain.

    Hello!

    Again, thank you for the help! With regards to applying the model (ie testing it with categorized data), will it still be able to drop uncertain data or do we have to add the same operator?
