GARF: Towards Self-optimised Random Forests
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ensemble learning is a machine learning approach that utilises a number of classifiers to contribute via voting to identifying the class label for any unlabelled instances. Random Forests RF is an ensemble classification approach that has proved its high accuracy and superiority. However, most of the commonly used selection methods are static. Motivated by the idea of having self-optimised RF capable of dynamical changing the trees in the forest. This study uses a genetic algorithm GA approach to further enhance the accuracy of RF. The approach is termed as Genetic Algorithm based RF (GARF ). Our extensive experimental study has proved that RF performance is be boosted using the GA approach.

Optimisation of Ensemble Classifiers using Genetic Algorithm
Ensemble learning is a well established machine learning approach that utilises a number of classifiers to aggregate the decision about determining the class label. In its basic form this aggregation is achieved via majority voting. A generic approach, termed EV-Ensemble, for evolving a new ensemble from an existing one is proposed in this paper. This approach is applied to the high performance...
متن کاملConsistency of Online Random Forests
As a testament to their success, the theory of random forests has long been outpaced by their application in practice. In this paper, we take a step towards narrowing this gap by providing a consistency result for online random forests.
متن کاملBernoulli Random Forests: Closing the Gap between Theoretical Consistency and Empirical Soundness
Random forests are one type of the most effective ensemble learning methods. In spite of their sound empirical performance, the study on their theoretical properties has been left far behind. Recently, several random forests variants with nice theoretical basis have been proposed, but they all suffer from poor empirical performance. In this paper, we propose a Bernoulli random forests model (BR...
متن کاملTraffic Sign Detection and Recognition using Features Combination and Random Forests
In this paper, we present a computer vision based system for fast robust Traffic Sign Detection and Recognition (TSDR), consisting of three steps. The first step consists on image enhancement and thresholding using the three components of the Hue Saturation and Value (HSV) space. Then we refer to distance to border feature and Random Forests classifier to detect circular, triangular and rectang...
متن کاملBanzhaf Random Forests
Random forests are a type of ensemble method which makes predictions by combining the results of several independent trees. However, the theory of random forests has long been outpaced by their application. In this paper, we propose a novel random forests algorithm based on cooperative game theory. Banzhaf power index is employed to evaluate the power of each feature by traversing possible feat...
