title = "A classifier fitness measure based on Bayesian likelihoods: An approach to the problem of learning from positives only",
abstract = "A classifier evaluation function based on Bayesian likelihoods of necessity and sufficiency is defined. This function can be used to measure the performance of an arbitrary classifier on a set of examples consisting of labeled positives together with a corpus of unlabeled data. A neural network system has been implemented in which the evaluation function is used as a heuristic to guide search through the space of network weight configurations. Results are presented from testing the system on three artificial datasets. The results are comparable to those that can be obtained using back-propagation, despite the fact that the latter method requires labeled counter-examples.",
