Class-confidence critic combining
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses a combination of two techniques for improving the recognition accuracy of on-line handwritten character recognition: committee classification and adaptation to the user. A novel adaptive committee structure, namely the Class-Confidence Critic Combination (CCCC) scheme, is presented and evaluated. It is shown to be able to improve significantly on its member classifiers. Also the effect of having either more or less diverse sets of member classifiers is considered.

On Adaptive Confidences for Critic-Driven Classifier Combining
When combining classifiers in order to improve the classification accuracy, precise estimation of the reliability of each member classifier can be very beneficial. One approach for estimating how confident we can be in the member classifiers’ results being correct is to use specialized critics to evaluate the classifiers’ performances. We introduce an adaptive, critic-based confidence evaluatio...
متن کاملEnsemble classification by critic-driven combining
We develop new rules for combining estimates obtained from each classi er in an ensemble. A variety of combination techniques have been previously suggested, including averaging probability estimates, as well as hard voting schemes. We introduce a critic associated with each classi er, whose objective is to predict the classi er's errors. Since the critic only tackles a two-class problem, its p...
متن کاملA confidence metric for using neurobiological feedback in actor-critic reinforcement learning based brain-machine interfaces
Brain-Machine Interfaces (BMIs) can be used to restore function in people living with paralysis. Current BMIs require extensive calibration that increase the set-up times and external inputs for decoder training that may be difficult to produce in paralyzed individuals. Both these factors have presented challenges in transitioning the technology from research environments to activities of daily...
متن کاملOnActor-Critic Algorithms
In this article, we propose and analyze a class of actor-critic algorithms. These are two-time-scale algorithms in which the critic uses temporal difference learning with a linearly parameterized approximation architecture, and the actor is updated in an approximate gradient direction, based on information provided by the critic. We show that the features for the critic should ideally span a su...
متن کاملActor-critic algorithms
We propose and analyze a class of actor-critic algorithms for simulation-based optimization of a Markov decision process over a parameterized family of randomized stationary policies. These are two-time-scale algorithms in which the critic uses TD learning with a linear approximation architecture and the actor is updated in an approximate gradient direction based on information provided by the ...
