Improving the Performance of Boosting

چکیده
This paper investigates boosting naive Bayesian classiica-tion. It rst shows that boosting cannot improve the accuracy of the naive Bayesian classiier on average in a set of natural domains. By analyzing the reasons of boosting's failures, we propose to introduce tree structures into naive Bayesian classiication to improve the performance of boosting when working with naive Bayesian classiication. The experimental results show that although introducing tree structures into naive Bayesian classiication increases the average error of naive Bayesian clas-siication for individual models, boosting naive Bayesian classiiers with tree structures can achieve signiicantly lower average error than the naive Bayesian classiier, providing a method of successfully applying the boosting technique to naive Bayesian classiication.

Improving reservoir rock classification in heterogeneous carbonates using boosting and bagging strategies: A case study of early Triassic carbonates of coastal Fars, south Iran
An accurate reservoir characterization is a crucial task for the development of quantitative geological models and reservoir simulation. In the present research work, a novel view is presented on the reservoir characterization using the advantages of thin section image analysis and intelligent classification algorithms. The proposed methodology comprises three main steps. First, four classes of...
متن کاملImproving the performance of recommender systems in the face of the cold start problem by analyzing user behavior on social network
The goal of recommender system is to provide desired items for users. One of the main challenges affecting the performance of recommendation systems is the cold-start problem that is occurred as a result of lack of information about a user/item. In this article, first we will present an approach, uses social streams such as Twitter to create a behavioral profile, then user profiles are clusteri...
متن کاملIntegrating boosting and stochastic attribute selection committees for further improving the performance of decision tree learning
Techniques for constructing classiier committees including Boosting and Bagging have demonstrated great success, especially Boosting for decision tree learning. This type of technique generates several classiiers to form a committee by repeated application of a single base learning algorithm. The committee members vote to decide the nal classiication. Boosting and Bagging create diierent classi...

متن کاملEnsemble Methods for Phoneme Classiication
In this paper we investigate a number of ensemble methods for improving the performance of phoneme classiication for use in a speech recognition system. We discuss boosting and mixtures of experts, both in isolation and in combination. We present results on an isolated word database. The results show that principled ensemble methods such as boosting and mixtures provide superior performance to ...
