Towards the Fusion of Distributed Binary Decision Tree Classifiers

چکیده
Multiple sensor fusion and binary decision tree classifiers have been used to successfully solve many real world problems. These topics are usually studied separately. Fusion of binary decision tree classifiers in a multiple sensor environment has received very little attention. In this paper, we formulate the problem, investigate its scope, outline some issues associated with decision tree classifiers and multiple sensor fusion, and present some solution methodologies. The results are illustrated by means of an example.

Multi-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...
متن کاملComparing decision fusion paradigms using k-NN based classifiers, decision trees and logistic regression in a multi-modal identity verification application
The contribution of this paper is threefold: (1) to formulate a decision fusion problem encountered in the design of a multi-modal identity verification system as a particular classification problem, (2) to propose three simple classifiers to solve this problem, (3) to compare the relative performances of the proposed classifiers. The multi-modal identity verification system under consideration...

متن کاملFusion of face and speech data for person identity verification
Biometric person identity authentication is gaining more and more attention. The authentication task performed by an expert is a binary classification problem: reject or accept identity claim. Combining experts, each based on a different modality (speech, face, fingerprint, etc.), increases the performance and robustness of identity authentication systems. In this context, a key issue is the fu...
متن کاملMMDT: Multi-Objective Memetic Rule Learning from Decision Tree
In this article, a Multi-Objective Memetic Algorithm (MA) for rule learning is proposed. Prediction accuracy and interpretation are two measures that conflict with each other. In this approach, we consider accuracy and interpretation of rules sets. Additionally, individual classifiers face other problems such as huge sizes, high dimensionality and imbalance classes’ distribution data sets. This...
