Ensemble methods such as boosting combine multiple learners to obtain better prediction than could be obtained from any individual learner. Here we propose a principled framework for directly constructing ensemble learning methods from kernel methods. Unlike previous studies showing the equivalence between boosting and support vector machines (SVMs), which needs a translation procedure, we show...

Recently, ensemble learning methods have been widely used to improve classification performance in machine learning. In this paper, we present a novel ensemble learning method: argumentation based multi-agent joint learning (AMAJL), which integrates ideas from multi-agent argumentation, ensemble learning, and association rule mining. In AMAJL, argumentation technology is introduced as an ensemb...

Ensemble of classifiers increases the performance of the classification since the decision of many experts are fused together to generate the resultant decision for prediction making. Deep learning is a classification algorithm where along with the basic learning technique, fine tuning learning is done for improved precision of learning. Deep classifier ensemble learning is having a good scope ...

This work reports the results of four ensemble approaches with the M5 model tree as the base regression model to anticipate Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR). Ensemble methods that combine the output of multiple regression models have been found to be more accurate than any of the individual models making up the ensemble. In this study additive boosting, bagging, rotation forest and random subspace...

Classification is one of the critical task in datamining. Many classifiers exist for classification task and each have their own pros and cons. It is observed that due to imbalancing in datasets quality of classification accuracy is decreasing. Thus the increasing rate of data diversity and size decreases the performance and efficiency of classifiers. Thus it is very much important to get the m...

In this paper, a robust online sequential extreme learning machine (ROS-ELM) is proposed. It is based on the original OS-ELM with an adaptive selective ensemble framework. Two novel insights are proposed in this paper. First, a novel selective ensemble algorithm referred to as particle swarm opt imization selective ensemble (PSOSEN) is proposed. Noting that PSOSEN is a general selective ensembl...

AbstractAccuracy in identifying the subjects’ intentions for moving their different limbs from EEG signals is regarded as an important factor in the studies related to BCI. In fact, the complexity of motor-imagination and low amount of signal-to-noise ratio for EEG signal makes this identification as a difficult task. In order to overcome these complexities, many techniques such as variou...

Ensemble learning is among the state-of-the-art learning techniques, which trains and combines many base learners. Ensemble pruning removes some of the base learners of an ensemble, and has been shown to be able to further improve the generalization performance. However, the two goals of ensemble pruning, i.e., maximizing the generalization performance and minimizing the number of base learners...
