A Theoretical Framework for Independent Classifier Combination
نویسندگان
چکیده
The combination of classifiers from independent observation domains has a myriad of benefits in practical pattern recognition problems. In this paper we propose a firm theoretical framework from which an upper bound on classifier combination performance can be calculated, based on mismatches between train and test sets. Using this framework, insights can be gained into the conditions under which classifiers can best be combined and where their respective confidence errors stem from. The theoretical framework is presented along with synthetic experiments for empirical validation.

A Theoretical Framework for Dynamic Classifier Selection
At present, the common operation mechanism of multiple classifier systems is the combination of classifier outputs. Recently, some researchers pointed out the potentialities of “dynamic classifier selection” as an alternative operation mechanism. However, such potentialities have been motivated so far by experimental results and qualitative arguments. This paper is aimed to provide a theoretica...

متن کاملBelief Function Combination: Comparative Study Within the Classifier Fusion Framework
Data fusion under the belief function framework has attracted the interest of many researchers over the past few years. Until now, many combination rules have been proposed in order to aggregate beliefs induced form dependent or independent information sources. Although the choice of the most appropriate rule among several alternatives is crucial, it still requires non-trivial effort. In this i...
متن کاملClassifier 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,...

This study seeks to examine how a company can select the best intermediary for its Marketing channels with minimum of criteria and time. A theoretical framework is proposed based on the most important tasks of intermediary and the criteria to measure them. There are four basic tasks and thirty criteria in three independent levels. Subsequently, an exploratory case study in Iranian Food industry...
