Improving Committee Diagnosis with Resampling Techniques
نویسندگان
چکیده
Central to the performance improvement of a committee relative to individual networks is the error correlation between networks in the committee. We investigated methods of achieving error independence between the networks by training the networks with different resampling sets from the original training set. The methods were tested on the sinwave artificial task and the real-world problems of hepatoma (liver cancer) and breast cancer diagnoses.

Supporting Acute Appendicitis Diagnosis: A Pre-Clustering-Based Classification Technique
Service quality and cost containment represent two critical challenges in healthcare management. Toward that end, acute appendicitis, a common surgical condition, is important and requires timely, accurate diagnosis. The diverse and atypical symptoms make such diagnoses difficult, thus resulting in increased morbidity and negative appendectomy. While prior research has recognized the use of cla...
متن کاملResampling-based selective clustering ensembles
Traditional clustering ensembles methods combine all obtained clustering results at hand. However, we observe that it can often achieve a better clustering solution if only part of all available clustering results are combined. This paper proposes a novel clustering ensembles method, termed as resampling-based selective clustering ensembles method. The proposed selective clustering ensembles me...
متن کاملEstimating Breast Cancer Risks Using Neural Networks
Breast cancer is one of the most important medical problems. In this paper, we report the results of using neural networks for breast cancer diagnosis. The theoretical advantage is that posterior probabilities of malignancy can be estimated directly, and coupled with resampling techniques such as the bootstrap, distributions of the probabilities can also be obtained. These allow a researcher mu...
متن کاملCommittee Networks by Resampling
Artificial neural networks (ANN) are nonparametric models and like all nonparametric models require a large number of observations to build and evaluate the model. But data is always finite and most often scarce in real world applications. The question now becomes: How does a modeler build an ANN model on a limited sample size and obtain an accurate and reliable estimate the model’s error? The ...
متن کاملAn evolutionary computational based approach towards automatic image registration
Image registration is a key component of various image processing operations which involve the analysis of different image data sets. Automatic image registration domains have witnessed the application of many intelligent methodologies over the past decade; however inability to properly model object shape as well as contextual information had limited the attainable accuracy. In this paper, we p...
