Monotone Learning Datasets

The purpose of this dataset collection is to provide a test bed for monotone classifiers. The original data were collected from various resources, such as UCI and WEKA. A general preprocessing procedure was applied, taking the following aspects into consideration:

  1. Instances with missing values are ignored.
  2. Nominal values are transformed to numeric ones, according to the semantic.
  3. Features are normalized between 0 and 1.
  4. Datasets are formatted as .csv files with the class information in the last column.

We are consistently searching for real-world monotone learning datasets. If you have anything in mind, please do not hesitate to contact Weiwei Cheng.
