Maximum Likelihood Topology Preserving Ensembles

چکیده
Statistical re-sampling techniques have been used extensively and successfully in the machine learning approaches for generations of classifier and predictor ensembles. It has been frequently shown that combining so called unstable predictors has a stabilizing effect on and improves the performance of the prediction system generated in this way. In this paper we use the resampling techniques in the context of a topology preserving map which can be used for scale invariant classification, taking into account the fact that it models the residual after feedback with a family of distributions and finds filters which make the residuals most likely under this model. This model is applied to artificial data sets and compared with a similar version based on the Self Organising Map (SOM).

Unsupervised Ensembles Techniques for Visualization
In this paper we introduce two unsupervised techniques for visualization purposes based on the use of ensemble methods. The unsupervised techniques which are often quite sensitive to the presence of outliers are combined with the ensemble approaches in order to overcome the influence of outliers. The first technique is based on the use of Principal Component Analysis and the second one is known...
متن کاملBoosting Unsupervised Competitive Learning Ensembles
Topology preserving mappings are great tools for data visualization and inspection in large datasets. This research presents a combination of several topology preserving mapping models with some basic classifier ensemble and boosting techniques in order to increase the stability conditions and, as an extension, the classification capabilities of the former. A study and comparison of the perform...
متن کاملFusion of Topology Preserving Neural Networks
In this paper ensembles of self organizing NNs through fusion are introduced. In these ensembles not the output signals of the base learners are combined, but their architectures are properly merged. Merging algorithms for fusion and boosting-fusion-based ensembles of SOMs, GSOMs and NG networks are presented and positively evaluated on benchmarks from the UCI database.
متن کاملViSOM Ensembles for Visualization and Classification
In this paper ensemble techniques have been applied in the frame of topology preserving mappings in two applications: classification and visualization. These techniques are applied for the first time to the ViSOM and their performance is compared with ensemble combination of some other topology preserving mapping such as the SOM or the MLSIM. Several methods to obtain a meaningful combination o...
متن کاملA Geometry Preserving Kernel over Riemannian Manifolds
Abstract- Kernel trick and projection to tangent spaces are two choices for linearizing the data points lying on Riemannian manifolds. These approaches are used to provide the prerequisites for applying standard machine learning methods on Riemannian manifolds. Classical kernels implicitly project data to high dimensional feature space without considering the intrinsic geometry of data points. ...
