Active learning using rough fuzzy classifier for cancer prediction from microarray gene expression data.

Cancer classification from microarray gene expression data is one of the important areas of research in the field of computational biology and bioinformatics. Traditional supervised techniques often fail to produce desired accuracy as the number of clinically labeled patterns are very less. In such situation, active learning technique can play an important role as it computationally selects only few most informative (confusing) samples to be labeled by the experts and are added to the training set which inturn can improve the accuracy of the prediction.
