In this paper we propose a noise detection system based on similarities between instances. Having a data set with instances that belongs to multiple classes, a noise instance denotes a wrongly classified record. The similarity between different labeled instances is determined computing distances between them using several metrics among the standard ones. In order to ensure that this approach is computational feasible for very large data sets, we compute distances between pairs of different labels instances that have a certain degree of similarity. This speed-up is possible through a new clustering method called BDT Clustering presented within this paper, which is based on a supervised learning algorithm.
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.
