In this model, a concept is represented by a collection of overlappling intervals for each feature and class. Classification with Overlapping Feature Intervals (COFI) is a particular implementation of this technique. In this incremental, inductive, and supervised learning method, the basic unit of the representation is an interval. The COFI algorithm learns the projections of the intervals in each feature dimension for each class. Initially, an interval is a point on a feature-class dimension; then it can be expanded through generalization. No specialization of intervals is done on feature-class dimensions by this algorithm. Classification in the COFI algorithm is based on a majority voting among the local predictions that are made individually by each feature. An evaluation of COFI and its comparison with similar other classification techniques is given.EnglishLearning AlgorithmsLearning SystemsClassification with Overlapping Feature Intervals (COFI) AlgorithmCyberneticsArticle10.1080/0196972981257131087-6553
