On ECOC as Binary Ensemble Classifiers

چکیده
The Error-Correcting Output Codes (ECOC) is a representative approach of the binary ensemble classifiers for solving multi-class problems. There have been so many researches on an output coding method built on an ECOC foundation. In this paper, we revisit representative conventional ECOC methods in an overlapped learning viewpoint. For this purpose, we propose new OPC based output coding methods in the ECOC point of view, and define a new measure to describe their properties. From the experiment on a face recognition domain, we investigate whether a problem complexity is more important than the overlapped learning or an error correction concept.

متن کاملRobust Multi-view Face Detection Using Error Correcting Output Codes
This paper presents a novel method to solve multi-view face detection problem by Error Correcting Output Codes (ECOC). The motivation is that face patterns can be divided into separated classes across views, and ECOC multi-class method can improve the robustness of multi-view face detection compared with the view-based methods because of its inherent error-tolerant ability. One key issue with E...
متن کاملDeep Error-correcting Output Codes
Existing deep networks are generally initialized with unsupervised methods, such as random assignments and greedy layerwise pre-training. This may result in the whole training process (initialization/pre-training + fine-tuning) to be very timeconsuming. In this paper, we combine the ideas of ensemble learning and deep learning, and present a novel deep learning framework called deep error-corre...
متن کاملTree Pruning for Output Coded Ensembles
Output Coding is a method of converting a multiclass problem into several binary subproblems and gives an ensemble of binary classifiers. Like other ensemble methods, its performance depends on the accuracy and diversity of base classifiers. If a decision tree is chosen as base classifier, the issue of tree pruning needs to be addressed. In this paper we investigate the effect of six methods of...
