Abstract:In many fields, it is a common practice to collect large amounts of data characterized by a high number of features. These datasets are at the core of modern applications of supervised machine learning, where the goal is to create an automatic classifier for newly presented data. However, it is well known that the presence of irrelevant features in a dataset can make the learning phase harder and, most importantly, can lead to suboptimal classifiers. Consequently, it is becoming increasingly important to be ab… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
