His primary areas of study are Machine learning, Artificial intelligence, Data mining, Classifier and Training set. He has included themes like Quality, Pattern recognition and Word error rate in his Machine learning study. Foster Provost works mostly in the field of Artificial intelligence, limiting it down to topics relating to Focus and, in certain cases, Contrast, as a part of the same area of interest.
His Data mining research includes themes of Automatic summarization, Imbalanced data and Consumer behaviour. His Classifier study incorporates themes from Lift, Decision analysis and Statistical relational learning. He interconnects Expected utility hypothesis, Sampling, Area under the roc curve and Gibbs sampling in the investigation of issues within Training set.
Foster Provost mainly investigates Artificial intelligence, Machine learning, Data mining, Data science and Classifier. The concepts of his Artificial intelligence study are interwoven with issues in Statistical relational learning and Pattern recognition. The various areas that Foster Provost examines in his Machine learning study include Training set and Expected utility hypothesis.
Foster Provost focuses mostly in the field of Data mining, narrowing it down to topics relating to Quality and, in certain cases, Crowdsourcing. The study incorporates disciplines such as Data-driven, Knowledge extraction, Set and Big data in addition to Data science. His research on Classifier frequently links to adjacent areas such as Decision analysis.
His main research concerns Artificial intelligence, Machine learning, Data mining, Big data and Data science. His Artificial intelligence research is mostly focused on the topic Learning models. Foster Provost undertakes interdisciplinary study in the fields of Machine learning and Outcome through his research.
His work on Classifier expands to the thematically related Data mining. His Big data study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Need to know, Text mining, Data analysis, Payment and Process. His Data science research incorporates elements of Intelligent decision support system, Data-driven and Control.
Data-driven, Data science, Machine learning, Artificial intelligence and Display advertising are his primary areas of study. His research investigates the connection between Data-driven and topics such as Set that intersect with issues in Econometrics, Feature and Contrast. His work carried out in the field of Data science brings together such families of science as Class, Document classification, Web page and Big data.
Foster Provost is involved in the study of Machine learning that focuses on Active learning in particular. Proxy and Lift is closely connected to Identification in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Display advertising. His research in Advertising campaign focuses on subjects like Data mining, which are connected to Empirical research.
