Rotation Forest, an effective ensemble classifier generation technique, works by using principal component analysis (PCA)
to rotate the original feature axes so that different training sets for learning base classifiers can be formed. This paper
presents a variant of Rotation Forest, which can be viewed as a combination of Bagging and Rotation Forest. Bagging is used
here to inject more randomness into Rotation Forest in order to increase the diversity among the ensemble membership. The
experiments conducted with 33 benchmark classification data sets available from the UCI repository, among which a classification
tree is adopted as the base learning algorithm, demonstrate that the proposed method generally produces ensemble classifiers
with lower error than Bagging, AdaBoost and Rotation Forest. The bias–variance analysis of error performance shows that the
proposed method improves the prediction error of a single classifier by reducing much more variance term than the other considered
ensemble procedures. Furthermore, the results computed on the data sets with artificial classification noise indicate that
the new method is more robust to noise and kappa-error diagrams are employed to investigate the diversity–accuracy patterns
of the ensemble classifiers. 相似文献

目前关于集成学习的泛化性能的研究已取得很大成功,但是关于集成学习的误差分析还需要进一步研究.考虑交叉验证在统计机器学习中对于模型性能评估有重要应用,为此,应用组块3×2交叉验证和k折交叉验证方法为每个样本点进行赋予权重的预测值的集成,并进行误差分析.在模拟数据和真实数据上进行实验,结果表明基于组块3×2交叉验证的集成学习预测误差小于单个学习器的预测误差,并且集成学习的方差比单个学习器方差小.与基于k折交叉验证的集成学习方法相比,基于组块3×2交叉验证的泛化误差小于基于k折交叉验证的泛化误差,说明基于组块3×2交叉验证的集成学习模型稳定性好. 相似文献

An ensemble of multiple classifiers is widely considered to be an effective technique for improving accuracy and stability of a single classifier. This paper proposes a framework of sparse ensembles and deals with new linear weighted combination methods for sparse ensembles. Sparse ensemble is to sparsely combine the outputs of multiple classifiers by using a sparse weight vector. When the continuous outputs of multiple classifiers are provided in our methods, the problem of solving sparse weight vector can be formulated as linear programming problems in which the hinge loss or/and the 1-norm regularization are exploited. Both the hinge loss and the 1-norm regularization are techniques inducing sparsity used in machine learning. We only ensemble classifiers with nonzero weight coefficients. In these LP-based methods, the ensemble training error is minimized while the weight vector of ensemble learning is controlled, which can be thought as implementing the structure risk minimization rule and naturally explains good performance of these methods. The promising experimental results over UCI data sets and the radar high-resolution range profile data are presented. 相似文献

Dynamic weighting ensemble classifiers based on cross-validation 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Ensemble of classifiers constitutes one of the main current directions in machine learning and data mining. It is accepted
that the ensemble methods can be divided into static and dynamic ones. Dynamic ensemble methods explore the use of different
classifiers for different samples and therefore may get better generalization ability than static ensemble methods. However,
for most of dynamic approaches based on KNN rule, additional part of training samples should be taken out for estimating “local
classification performance” of each base classifier. When the number of training samples is not sufficient enough, it would
lead to the lower accuracy of the training model and the unreliableness for estimating local performances of base classifiers,
so further hurt the integrated performance. This paper presents a new dynamic ensemble model that introduces cross-validation
technique in the process of local performances’ evaluation and then dynamically assigns a weight to each component classifier.
Experimental results with 10 UCI data sets demonstrate that when the size of training set is not large enough, the proposed
method can achieve better performances compared with some dynamic ensemble methods as well as some classical static ensemble
approaches. 相似文献

We propose a two-layer decision fusion technique, called Fuzzy Stacked Generalization (FSG) which establishes a hierarchical distance learning architecture. At the base-layer of an FSG, fuzzy k-NN classifiers receive different feature sets each of which is extracted from the same dataset to gain multiple views of the dataset. At the meta-layer, first, a fusion space is constructed by aggregating decision spaces of all the base-layer classifiers. Then, a fuzzy k-NN classifier is trained in the fusion space by minimizing the difference between the large sample and N-sample classification error. In order to measure the degree of collaboration among the base-layer classifiers and the diversity of the feature spaces, a new measure called, shareability, is introduced. Shearability is defined as the number of samples that are correctly classified by at least one of the base-layer classifiers in FSG. In the experiments, we observe that FSG performs better than the popular distance learning and ensemble learning algorithms when the shareability measure is large enough such that most of the samples are correctly classified by at least one of the base-layer classifiers. The relationship between the proposed and state-of-the-art diversity measures is experimentally analyzed. The tests performed on a variety of artificial and real-world benchmark datasets show that the classification performance of FSG increases compared to that of state-of-the art ensemble learning and distance learning methods as the number of classes increases. 相似文献

Removing or filtering outliers and mislabeled instances prior to training a learning algorithm has been shown to increase classification accuracy, especially in noisy data sets. A popular approach is to remove any instance that is misclassified by a learning algorithm. However, the use of ensemble methods has also been shown to generally increase classification accuracy. In this paper, we extensively examine filtering and ensembling. We examine 9 learning algorithms individually and ensembled together as filtering algorithms as well as the effects of filtering in the 9 chosen learning algorithms on a set of 54 data sets. We compare the filtering results with using a majority voting ensemble. We find that the majority voting ensemble significantly outperforms filtering unless there are high amounts of noise present in the data set. Additionally, for most cases, using an ensemble of learning algorithms for filtering produces a greater increase in classification accuracy than using a single learning algorithm for filtering. 相似文献

The ensemble method is a powerful data mining paradigm, which builds a classification model by integrating multiple diversified component learners. Bagging is one of the most successful ensemble methods. It is made of bootstrap-inspired classifiers and uses these classifiers to get an aggregated classifier. However, in bagging, bootstrapped training sets become more and more similar as redundancy is increasing. Besides redundancy, any training set is usually subject to noise. Moreover, the training set might be imbalanced. Thus, each training instance has a different impact on the learning process. This paper explores some properties of the ensemble margin and its use in improving the performance of bagging. We introduce a new approach to measure the importance of training data in learning, based on the margin theory. Then, a new bagging method concentrating on critical instances is proposed. This method is more accurate than bagging and more robust than boosting. Compared to bagging, it reduces the bias while generally keeping the same variance. Our findings suggest that (a) examples with low margins tend to be more critical for the classifier performance; (b) examples with higher margins tend to be more redundant; (c) misclassified examples with high margins tend to be noisy examples. Our experimental results on 15 various data sets show that the generalization error of bagging can be reduced up to 2.5% and its resilience to noise strengthened by iteratively removing both typical and noisy training instances, reducing the training set size by up to 75%. 相似文献

Recently many topic models such as Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) and Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) have made important progress towards generating high-level knowledge from a large corpus. However, these algorithms based on random initialization generate different results on the same corpus using the same parameters, denoted as instability problem. For solving this problem, ensembles of NMF are known to be much more stable and accurate than individual NMFs. However, training multiple NMFs for ensembling is computationally expensive. In this paper, we propose a novel scheme to obtain the seemingly contradictory goal of ensembling multiple NMFs without any additional training cost. We train a single NMF algorithm with the cyclical learning rate schedule, which can converge to several local minima along its optimization path. We save the results to the ensemble when the model converges, and then restart the optimization with a large learning rate that can help escape the current local minimum. Based on experiments performed on text corpora using a number of measures to assess, our method can reduce instability at no additional training cost, while simultaneously yields more accurate topic models than traditional single methods and ensemble methods. 相似文献

Learning from imperfect (noisy) information sources is a challenging and reality issue for many data mining applications. Common practices include data quality enhancement by applying data preprocessing techniques or employing robust learning algorithms to avoid developing overly complicated structures that overfit the noise. The essential goal is to reduce noise impact and eventually enhance the learners built from noise-corrupted data. In this paper, we propose a novel corrective classification (C2) design, which incorporates data cleansing, error correction, Bootstrap sampling and classifier ensembling for effective learning from noisy data sources. C2 differs from existing classifier ensembling or robust learning algorithms in two aspects. On one hand, a set of diverse base learners of C2 constituting the ensemble are constructed via a Bootstrap sampling process; on the other hand, C2 further improves each base learner by unifying error detection, correction and data cleansing to reduce noise impact. Being corrective, the classifier ensemble is built from data preprocessed/corrected by the data cleansing and correcting modules. Experimental comparisons demonstrate that C2 is not only more accurate than the learner built from original noisy sources, but also more reliable than Bagging [4] or aggressive classifier ensemble (ACE) [56], which are two degenerated components/variants of C2. The comparisons also indicate that C2 is more stable than Boosting and DECORATE, which are two state-of-the-art ensembling methods. For real-world imperfect information sources (i.e. noisy training and/or test data), C2 is able to deliver more accurate and reliable prediction models than its other peers can offer. 相似文献

Cost Complexity-Based Pruning of Ensemble Classifiers 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In this paper we study methods that combine multiple classification models learned over separate data sets. Numerous studies
posit that such approaches provide the means to efficiently scale learning to large data sets, while also boosting the accuracy
of individual classifiers. These gains, however, come at the expense of an increased demand for run-time system resources.
The final ensemble meta-classifier may consist of a large collection of base classifiers that require increased memory resources
while also slowing down classification throughput. Here, we describe an algorithm for pruning (i.e., discarding a subset of
the available base classifiers) the ensemble meta-classifier as a means to reduce its size while preserving its accuracy and
we present a technique for measuring the trade-off between predictive performance and available run-time system resources.
The algorithm is independent of the method used initially when computing the meta-classifier. It is based on decision tree
pruning methods and relies on the mapping of an arbitrary ensemble meta-classifier to a decision tree model. Through an extensive
empirical study on meta-classifiers computed over two real data sets, we illustrate our pruning algorithm to be a robust and
competitive approach to discarding classification models without degrading the overall predictive performance of the smaller
ensemble computed over those that remain after pruning.

In this paper, the concept of finding an appropriate classifier ensemble for named entity recognition is posed as a multiobjective optimization (MOO) problem. Our underlying assumption is that instead of searching for the best-fitting feature set for a particular classifier, ensembling of several classifiers those are trained using different feature representations could be a more fruitful approach, but it is crucial to determine the appropriate subset of classifiers that are most suitable for the ensemble. We use three heterogenous classifiers namely maximum entropy, conditional random field, and support vector machine in order to build a number of models depending upon the various representations of the available features. The proposed MOO-based ensemble technique is evaluated for three resource-constrained languages, namely Bengali, Hindi, and Telugu. Evaluation results yield the recall, precision, and F-measure values of 92.21, 92.72, and 92.46%, respectively, for Bengali; 97.07, 89.63, and 93.20%, respectively, for Hindi; and 80.79, 93.18, and 86.54%, respectively, for Telugu. We also evaluate our proposed technique with the CoNLL-2003 shared task English data sets that yield the recall, precision, and F-measure values of 89.72, 89.84, and 89.78%, respectively. Experimental results show that the classifier ensemble identified by our proposed MOO-based approach outperforms all the individual classifiers, two different conventional baseline ensembles, and the classifier ensemble identified by a single objective?Cbased approach. In a part of the paper, we formulate the problem of feature selection in any classifier under the MOO framework and show that our proposed classifier ensemble attains superior performance to it. 相似文献

The automatic detection of construction materials in images acquired on a construction site has been regarded as a critical topic. Recently, several data mining techniques have been used as a way to solve the problem of detecting construction materials. These studies have applied single classifiers to detect construction materials—and distinguish them from the background—by using color as a feature. Recent studies suggest that combining multiple classifiers (into what is called a heterogeneous ensemble classifier) would show better performance than using a single classifier. However, the performance of ensemble classifiers in construction material detection is not fully understood. In this study, we investigated the performance of six single classifiers and potential ensemble classifiers on three data sets: one each for concrete, steel, and wood. A heterogeneous voting-based ensemble classifier was created by selecting base classifiers which are diverse and accurate; their prediction probabilities for each target class were averaged to yield a final decision for that class. In comparison with the single classifiers, the ensemble classifiers performed better in the three data sets overall. This suggests that it is better to use an ensemble classifier to enhance the detection of construction materials in images acquired on a construction site. 相似文献

This paper presents a novel method for facial expression recognition that employs the combination of two different feature sets in an ensemble approach. A pool of base support vector machine classifiers is created using Gabor filters and Local Binary Patterns. Then a multi-objective genetic algorithm is used to search for the best ensemble using as objective functions the minimization of both the error rate and the size of the ensemble. Experimental results on JAFFE and Cohn-Kanade databases have shown the efficiency of the proposed strategy in finding powerful ensembles, which improves the recognition rates between 5% and 10% over conventional approaches that employ single feature sets and single classifiers. 相似文献
