Nomination for Best Student Paper at EUSFLAT 2011

The KEBI paper "Choquistic Regression: Generalizing Logistic Regression using the Choquet Integral" co-authored by Ali Fallah Tehrani, Weiwei Cheng, Eyke Hüllermeier has been nominated for the best student paper at EUSFLAT 2011. The basic idea presented in this paper is to replace the linear function of predictor variables, which is commonly used in logistic regression to model the log odds of the positive class, by the Choquet integral. Thus, it becomes possible to capture non-linear dependencies and interactions among predictor variables while preserving important properties of logistic regression.
