Taxonomy for characterizing ensemble methods in classification tasks: A review and annotated bibliography

نویسنده

  • Lior Rokach
چکیده

Ensemble methodology, which builds a classification model by integrating multiple classifiers, can be used for improving prediction performance. Researchers from various disciplines such as statistics, pattern recognition, and machine learning have seriously explored the use of ensemble methodology. This paper presents an updated survey of ensemble methods in classification tasks, while introducing a new taxonomy for characterizing them. The new taxonomy, presented from the algorithm designer’s point of view, is based on five dimensions: inducer, combiner, diversity, size, and members dependency. We also propose several selection criteria, presented from the practitioner’s point of view, for choosing the most suitable ensemble method.

Optimum Ensemble Classification for Fully Polarimetric SAR Data Using Global-Local Classification Approach

In this paper, a proposed ensemble classification for fully polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) data using a global-local classification approach is presented. In the first step, to perform the global classification, the training feature space is divided into a specified number of clusters. In the next step to carry out the local classification over each of these clusters, which cont...

Diversity creation methods: a survey and categorisation

Ensemble approaches to classification and regression have attracted a great deal of interest in recent years. These methods can be shown both theoretically and empirically to outperform single predictors on a wide range of tasks. One of the elements required for accurate prediction when using an ensemble is recognised to be error ‘‘diversity’’. However, the exact meaning of this concept is not ...
