there are three major strategies to form neural network ensembles. the simplest one is the cross validation strategy in which all members are trained with the same training data. bagging and boosting strategies pro-duce perturbed sample from training data. this paper provides an ideal model based on two important factors: activation function and number of neurons in the hidden layer and based u...

An ensemble is a collective decision-making system which applies a strategy to combine the predictions of learned classifiers to generate its prediction of new instances. Early research has proved that ensemble classifiers in most cases can be more accurate than any single component classifier both empirically and theoretically. Though many ensemble approaches are proposed, it is still not an e...

We present in this paper a simple hedge identification method and its application on biomedical text. The problem at hand is a subtask of CoNLL-2010 shared task. Our solution consists of two classifiers, a statistical one and a CRF model, and a simple combination schema that combines their predictions. We report in detail on each component of our system and discuss the results. We also show tha...

In observing the widely spread of patients caused by infectious diseases or the increase of the number of failures of equipments, it is crucial to predict the final number of infected patients or failures at earlier stages. To estimate the number of infected patients, the SIR model, the ordinary differential equation model, statistical truncated model are useful. The predicted value for the fin...

Emotion recognition is a very hot topic, which is related with computer science, psychology, artificial intelligence, etc. It is always performed on facial or audio information with classical method such as ANN, fuzzy set, SVM, HMM, etc. Ensemble learning theory is a novelty in machine learning and ensemble method is proved an effective pattern recognition method. In this paper, a novel ensembl...

An ensemble is a collection of related datasets. Each dataset, or member, of an ensemble is normally large, multidimensional, and spatio-temporal. Ensembles are used extensively by scientists and mathematicians, for example, by executing a simulation repeatedly with slightly different input parameters and saving the results in an ensemble to see how parameter choices affect the simulation. To d...

Due to the rise of technology, the possibility of fraud in different areas such as banking has been increased. Credit card fraud is a crucial problem in banking and its danger is over increasing. This paper proposes an advanced data mining method, considering both feature selection and decision cost for accuracy enhancement of credit card fraud detection. After selecting the best and most effec...

In this paper, a novel method is proposed to build an ensemble of classifiers by using a feature selection schema. The feature selection schema identifies the best feature sets that affect the arrhythmia classification. Firstly, a number of feature subsets are extracted by applying the feature selection schema to the original dataset. Then classification models are built by using the each featu...

To improve the performance of clustering ensemble method, a selective fuzzy clustering ensemble algorithm is proposed. It mainly includes selection of clustering ensemble members and combination of clustering results. In the process of member selection, measure method is defined to select the better clustering members. Then some selected clustering members are viewed as hyper-graph in order to ...
