Abstract:

Relevance Vector Machine (RVM) is a sparse model proposed on the basis of sparse Bayesian framework, it has been widely studied and applied in the field of machine
learning in recent years because of its strong sparsity and generalization ability. However, like the traditional decision tree, neural network algorithm and support vector
machine, RVM does not have the expense of sensitivity, can not be directly used for costsensitive learning. To deal with the cost sensitive problem brought by
misclassification in supervised learning, costsensitive relevance vector classification(CSRVC) algorithm was proposed by integrating misclassification cost of each type
sample based on RVM. Experiments show that CSRVC has good sparsity and can effectively solve the problem of costsensitive classification.

Key words: relevance vector machine(RVM), cost sensitive, CSRVC
