Ensemble Learning

چکیده
This note presents a chronological review of the literature on ensemble learning which has accumulated over the past twenty years. The idea of ensemble learning is to employ multiple learners and combine their predictions. If we have a committee of M models with uncorrelated errors, simply by averaging them the average error of a model can be reduced by a factor of M. Unfortunately, the key assumption that the errors due to the individual models are uncorrelated is unrealistic; in practice, the errors are typically highly correlated, so the reduction in overall error is generally small. However, by making use of Cauchy’s inequality, it can be shown that the expected committee error will not exceed the expected error of the constituent models. In this article the literature in general is reviewed, with, where possible, an emphasis on both theory and practical advice, then a taxonomy is provided, and finally four ensemble methods are covered in greater detail: bagging, boosting (including AdaBoost), stacked generalization and the random subspace method.

Fault Detection of Anti-friction Bearing using Ensemble Machine Learning Methods
Anti-Friction Bearing (AFB) is a very important machine component and its unscheduled failure leads to cause of malfunction in wide range of rotating machinery which results in unexpected downtime and economic loss. In this paper, ensemble machine learning techniques are demonstrated for the detection of different AFB faults. Initially, statistical features were extracted from temporal vibratio...
متن کاملApplication of ensemble learning techniques to model the atmospheric concentration of SO2
In view of pollution prediction modeling, the study adopts homogenous (random forest, bagging, and additive regression) and heterogeneous (voting) ensemble classifiers to predict the atmospheric concentration of Sulphur dioxide. For model validation, results were compared against widely known single base classifiers such as support vector machine, multilayer perceptron, linear regression and re...
متن کاملCombining Classifier Guided by Semi-Supervision
The article suggests an algorithm for regular classifier ensemble methodology. The proposed methodology is based on possibilistic aggregation to classify samples. The argued method optimizes an objective function that combines environment recognition, multi-criteria aggregation term and a learning term. The optimization aims at learning backgrounds as solid clusters in subspaces of the high...
