Multiclassification: reject criteria for the Bayesian combiner
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the present paper we propose a method for determining the best trade-o! between error rate and reject rate for a multi-expert system (MES) using the Bayesian combining rule. The method is based on the estimation of the reliability of each classi"cation act and on the evaluation of the convenience of rejecting the input sample when the reliability is under a threshold, evaluated on the basis of the requirements of the application domain. The adaptability to the given domain represents an original feature since, till now, the problem of de"ning a reject rule for an MES has not been systematically introduced, and the few existing proposals seldom take into account the requirements of the domain. The method has been widely tested with reference to the recognition of handwritten characters coming from a standard database. The results are also compared with those provided by employing the well-known Chow's rule. ( 1999 Pattern Recognition Society. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Bi-criteria Genetic Selection of Bagging Fuzzy Rule-based Multiclassification Systems
Previously we proposed a scheme to generate fuzzy rule-based multiclassification systems by means of bagging, mutual information-based feature selection, and a multicriteria genetic algorithm (GA) for static component classifier selection guided by the ensemble training error. In the current contribution we extend the latter component by the use of two bi-criteria fitness functions, combining t...
متن کاملA New Acceptance Sampling Design Using Bayesian Modeling and Backwards Induction
In acceptance sampling plans, the decisions on either accepting or rejecting a specific batch is still a challenging problem. In order to provide a desired level of protection for customers as well as manufacturers, in this paper, a new acceptance sampling design is proposed to accept or reject a batch based on Bayesian modeling to update the distribution function of the percentage of nonconfor...

W e study the effectiveness of three neural network ensembles in improving OCR performance: ( i ) Basic, (ii) Bagging, and (iii) Boosting. Three random character degradation models are introduced in training indivadual networks in order to reduce error correlation between individual networks and to improve the generalization ability of neural networks. We compare the recognition accuracies of t...
متن کاملA Novel Framework to Design Fuzzy Rule-Based Ensembles Using Diversity Induction and Evolutionary Algorithms-Based Classifier Selection and Fusion
Fuzzy rule-based systems have shown a high capability of knowledge extraction and representation when modeling complex, nonlinear classification problems. However, they suffer from the so-called curse of dimensionality when applied to high dimensional datasets, which consist of a large number of variables and/or examples. Multiclassification systems have shown to be a good approach to deal with...
متن کاملUncertainty Modeling of a Group Tourism Recommendation System Based on Pearson Similarity Criteria, Bayesian Network and Self-Organizing Map Clustering Algorithm
Group tourism is one of the most important tasks in tourist recommender systems. These systems, despite of the potential contradictions among the group's tastes, seek to provide joint suggestions to all members of the group, and propose recommendations that would allow the satisfaction of a group of users rather than individual user satisfaction. Another issue that has received less attention i...
