Robust Framework to Combine Diverse Classifiers Assigning Distributed Confidence to Individual Classifiers at Class Level

چکیده
We have presented a classification framework that combines multiple heterogeneous classifiers in the presence of class label noise. An extension of m-Mediods based modeling is presented that generates model of various classes whilst identifying and filtering noisy training data. This noise free data is further used to learn model for other classifiers such as GMM and SVM. A weight learning method is then introduced to learn weights on each class for different classifiers to construct an ensemble. For this purpose, we applied genetic algorithm to search for an optimal weight vector on which classifier ensemble is expected to give the best accuracy. The proposed approach is evaluated on variety of real life datasets. It is also compared with existing standard ensemble techniques such as Adaboost, Bagging, and Random Subspace Methods. Experimental results show the superiority of proposed ensemble method as compared to its competitors, especially in the presence of class label noise and imbalance classes.

Classifier Ensemble Framework: a Diversity Based Approach
Pattern recognition systems are widely used in a host of different fields. Due to some reasons such as lack of knowledge about a method based on which the best classifier is detected for any arbitrary problem, and thanks to significant improvement in accuracy, researchers turn to ensemble methods in almost every task of pattern recognition. Classification as a major task in pattern recognition,...

متن کاملConfidence Evaluation for Combining Diverse Classifiers
For combining classifiers at measurement level, the diverse outputs of classifiers should be transformed to uniform measures that represent the confidence of decision, hopefully, the class probability or likelihood. This paper presents our experimental results of classifier combination using confidence evaluation. We test three types of confidences: log-likelihood, exponential and sigmoid. For ...
متن کاملHierarchical multi-label prediction of gene function
MOTIVATION Assigning functions for unknown genes based on diverse large-scale data is a key task in functional genomics. Previous work on gene function prediction has addressed this problem using independent classifiers for each function. However, such an approach ignores the structure of functional class taxonomies, such as the Gene Ontology (GO). Over a hierarchy of functional classes, a grou...
متن کاملMulti-View Forest: A New Ensemble Method based on Dempster-Shafer Evidence Theory
This paper proposes a new ensemble method that constructs an ensemble of tree-structured classifiers using multi-view learning. We are motivated by the fact that an ensemble can outperform its members providing that these classifiers are diverse and accurate. In order to construct diverse individual classifiers, we assume that the object to be classified is described by multiple feature sets (v...
