An Experiment in Candidate Selection

An Experiment in Game-Based Classifier Selection

We present a two-player game against nature for the study of classifier combination. The game is an extension of the prediction with expert advice framework developed by Cesa Bianchi et al.. In the game, the player selects from a set of base classifiers and their combinations, playing a closed-world competitive prediction with expert advice game, with the aim of selecting one of the classifiers...

Candidate molecular ions for an electron electric dipole moment experiment

This paper is a theoretical work in support of a newly proposed experiment R. Stutz and E. Cornell, Bull. Am. Soc. Phys. 89, 76 2004 that promises greater sensitivity to measurements of the electron’s electric dipole moment EDM based on the trapping of molecular ions. Such an experiment requires the choice of a suitable molecule that is both experimentally feasible and possesses an expectation ...

Learning: An Experiment with Five Selection Forms

Several approaches to learning to solve problems are identified in a previous paper: Learning, Teaching, Optimization and Approximations to appear in the book Intelligent Scientific Software Systems. Here we consider a simple, hypothetical problem related to Example 4.4, Identification of underwater objects, of the previous paper. Two scenarios are considered for solving this problem, one where...

Switching between selection and fusion in combining classifiers: an experiment

This paper presents a combination of classifier selection and fusion by using statistical inference to switch between the two. Selection is applied in those regions of the feature space where one classifier strongly dominates the others from the pool [called clustering-and-selection or (CS)] and fusion is applied in the remaining regions. Decision templates (DT) method is adopted for the classi...
