Multi-class Classification with Dependent Gaussian Processes

چکیده
We present a novel multi-output Gaussian process model for multi-class classification. We build on the formulation of Gaussian processes via convolution of white Gaussian noise processes with a parameterized kernel and present a new class of multi-output covariance functions. The latter allow for greater flexibility in modelling relationships between outputs while being parsimonious with regard to the number of model parameters. We apply the model to multi-class Gaussian process classification using a sparse approximation based on the informative vector framework and investigate, both analytically as well as empirically, a scenario where our multi-class classifier performs better than combining independently trained binary classifiers.

Negative Selection Based Data Classification with Flexible Boundaries
One of the most important artificial immune algorithms is negative selection algorithm, which is an anomaly detection and pattern recognition technique; however, recent research has shown the successful application of this algorithm in data classification. Most of the negative selection methods consider deterministic boundaries to distinguish between self and non-self-spaces. In this paper, two...
متن کاملMulti-class Semi-supervised Learning with the e-truncated Multinomial Probit Gaussian Process
Recently, the null category noise model has been proposed as a simple and elegant solution to the problem of incorporating unlabeled data into a Gaussian process (GP) classification model. In this paper, we show how this binary likelihood model can be generalised to the multi-class setting through the use of the multinomial probit GP classifier. We present a Gibbs sampling scheme for sampling t...
متن کاملExploiting Associations between Class Labels in Multi-label Classification
Multi-label classification has many applications in the text categorization, biology and medical diagnosis, in which multiple class labels can be assigned to each training instance simultaneously. As it is often the case that there are relationships between the labels, extracting the existing relationships between the labels and taking advantage of them during the training or prediction phases ...
متن کاملRobust Multi-Class Gaussian Process Classification
Multi-class Gaussian Process Classifiers (MGPCs) are often affected by overfitting problems when labeling errors occur far from the decision boundaries. To prevent this, we investigate a robust MGPC (RMGPC) which considers labeling errors independently of their distance to the decision boundaries. Expectation propagation is used for approximate inference. Experiments with several datasets in wh...
متن کاملFeature-based Malicious URL and Attack Type Detection Using Multi-class Classification
Nowadays, malicious URLs are the common threat to the businesses, social networks, net-banking etc. Existing approaches have focused on binary detection i.e. either the URL is malicious or benign. Very few literature is found which focused on the detection of malicious URLs and their attack types. Hence, it becomes necessary to know the attack type and adopt an effective countermeasure. This pa...
