This paper introduces a preprocessing method for such kind of applications. Here we concentrate on scenarios with highly unbalance misclassification costs. Therefore we briefly introduce a variation of multiple-instance learning (MIL) and recall soft margin hyperplane classifiers. According to this classifier we present a training set selection method for multidimensional problems that combines the idea of support vector pruning with pattern weighting. The proposed method guarantees both high performance and interpretable decisions. The main advantage of our proposed filter method is the obtained training set that rather prefers quasilinear classifiers during model selection. We conclude with potential extensions for future research in this domain. ER -
