Rejection Strategies for Learning Vector Quantization - A Comparison of Probabilistic and Deterministic Approaches
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this contribution, we focus on reject options for prototypebased classifiers, and we present a comparison of reject options based on statistical models for prototype-based classification as compared to alternatives which are motivated by simple geometric principles. We compare the behavior of generative models such as Gaussian mixture models and discriminative ones to results from robust soft learning vector quantization. It turns out that (i) reject options based on simple geometric show a comparable quality as compared to reject options based on statistical approaches. This behavior of the simple options offers a nice alternative towards making a probabilistic modeling and allowing a more finegrained control of the size of the remaining data in many settings. It is shown that (ii) discriminative models provide a better classification accuracy also when combined with reject strategies based on probabilistic models as compared to generative ones.

Local Rejection Strategies for Learning Vector Quantization
Classification with rejection is well understood for classifiers which provide explicit class probabilities. The situation is more complicated for popular deterministic classifiers such as learning vector quantisation schemes: albeit reject options using simple distance-based geometric measures were proposed [4], their local scaling behaviour is unclear for complex problems. Here, we propose a ...
متن کاملEfficient rejection strategies for prototype-based classification
Due to intuitive training algorithms and model representation, prototypebased models are popular in settings where on-line learning and model interpretability play a major role. In such cases, a crucial property of a classifier is not only which class to predict, but also if a reliable decision is possible in the first place, or whether it is better to reject a decision. While strong theoretica...

Reducing the number of colors in an image while preserving its quality, is of importance in many applications such as image analysis and compression. It also decreases memory and transmission bandwidth requirements. Moreover, classification of image colors is applicable in image segmentation and object detection and separation, as well as producing pseudo-color images. In this paper, the Kohene...
متن کاملA Probabilistic Classifier Model with Adaptive Rejection Option
Lately the topic of rejecting decisions in a classification scenario became attention, e. g. in medical data analysis, since not only the decision itself but also the certainty of the decision is important. While often a reject option is used on top of a trained model, recent approaches include it directly in the objective function of the desired model, e. g. for learning vector quantization. F...
متن کاملRejection strategies for learning vector quantization
We present prototype-based classification schemes, e. g. learning vector quantization, with cost-function-based and geometrically motivated reject options. We evaluate the reject schemes in experiments on artificial and benchmark data sets. We demonstrate that reject options improve the accuracy of the models in most cases, and that the performance of the proposed schemes is comparable to the o...
