Using neural network ensembles for bankruptcy prediction and credit scoring

Bankruptcy prediction and credit scoring have long been regarded as critical topics and have been studied extensively in the accounting and finance literature. Artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques have been used to solve these financial decision-making problems. The multilayer perceptron (MLP) network trained by the back-propagation learning algorithm is the mostly used technique for financial decision-making problems. In addition, it is usually superior to other traditional statistical models. Recent studies suggest combining multiple classifiers (or classifier ensembles) should be better than single classifiers. However, the performance of multiple classifiers in bankruptcy prediction and credit scoring is not fully understood. In this paper, we investigate the performance of a single classifier as the baseline classifier to compare with multiple classifiers and diversified multiple classifiers by using neural networks based on three datasets. By comparing with the single classifier as the benchmark in terms of average prediction accuracy, the multiple classifiers only perform better in one of the three datasets. The diversified multiple classifiers trained by not only different classifier parameters but also different sets of training data perform worse in all datasets. However, for the Type I and Type II errors, there is no exact winner. We suggest that it is better to consider these three classifier architectures to make the optimal financial decision.     

AptaCDSS-E: A classifier ensemble-based clinical decision support system for cardiovascular disease level prediction

Conventional clinical decision support systems are generally based on a single classifier or a simple combination of these models, showing moderate performance. In this paper, we propose a classifier ensemble-based method for supporting the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease (CVD) based on aptamer chips. This AptaCDSS-E system overcomes conventional performance limitations by utilizing ensembles of different classifiers. Recent surveys show that CVD is one of the leading causes of death and that significant life savings can be achieved if precise diagnosis can be made. For CVD diagnosis, our system combines a set of four different classifiers with ensembles. Support vector machines and neural networks are adopted as base classifiers. Decision trees and Bayesian networks are also adopted to augment the system. Four aptamer-based biochip data sets including CVD data containing 66 samples were used to train and test the system. Three other supplementary data sets are used to alleviate data insufficiency. We investigated the effectiveness of the ensemble-based system with several different aggregation approaches by comparing the results with single classifier-based models. The prediction performance of the AptaCDSS-E system was assessed with a cross-validation test. The experimental results show that our system achieves high diagnosis accuracy (>94%) and comparably small prediction difference intervals (<6%), proving its usefulness in the clinical decision process of disease diagnosis. Additionally, 10 possible biomarkers are found for further investigation.     

Salient feature and reliable classifier selection for facial expression classification

A novel facial expression classification (FEC) method is presented and evaluated. The classification process is decomposed into multiple two-class classification problems, a choice that is analytically justified, and unique sets of features are extracted for each classification problem. Specifically, for each two-class problem, an iterative feature selection process that utilizes a class separability measure is employed to create salient feature vectors (SFVs), where each SFV is composed of a selected feature subset. Subsequently, two-class discriminant analysis is applied on the SFVs to produce salient discriminant hyper-planes (SDHs), which are used to train the corresponding two-class classifiers. To properly integrate the two-class classification results and produce the FEC decision, a computationally efficient and fast classification scheme is developed. During each step of this scheme, the most reliable classifier is identified and utilized, thus, a more accurate final classification decision is produced. The JAFFE and the MMI databases are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed salient-feature-and-reliable-classifier selection (SFRCS) methodology. Classification rates of 96.71% and 93.61% are achieved under the leave-one-sample-out evaluation strategy, and 85.92% under the leave-one-subject-out evaluation strategy.
