Risk Estimation for Hierarchical Classifier
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the Hierarchical Classifier (HC), which is a hybrid architecture [1] built with the help of supervised training and unsu-pervised problem clustering. We prove a theorem giving the estimationˆR of HC risk. The proof works because of an improved way of computing cluster weights, introduced in this paper. Experiments show thatˆR is correlated with HC real error. This allows us to usê R as the approximation of HC risk without evaluating HC subclusters. We also show howˆR can be used in efficient clustering algorithms by comparing HC architectures with different methods of clustering.

Age estimation using a hierarchical classifier based on global and local facial features
The research related to age estimation using face images has become increasingly important, due to the fact it has a variety of potentially useful applications. An age estimation system is generally composed of aging feature extraction and feature classification; both of which are important in order to improve the performance. For the aging feature extraction, the hybrid features, which are a c...

متن کاملRobust Face Alignment Based on Hierarchical Classifier Network
Robust face alignment is crucial for many face processing applications. As face detection only gives a rough estimation of face region, one important problem is how to align facial shapes starting from this rough estimation, especially on face images with expression and pose changes. We propose a novel method of face alignment by building a hierarchical classifier network, connecting face detec...
