TLDR
On applying these methods to combine several classifiers for recognizing totally unconstrained handwritten numerals, the experimental results show that the performance of individual classifiers can be improved significantly.
Abstract
Possible solutions to the problem of combining classifiers can be divided into three categories according to the levels of information available from the various classifiers. Four approaches based on different methodologies are proposed for solving this problem. One is suitable for combining individual classifiers such as Bayesian, k-nearest-neighbor, and various distance classifiers. The other three could be used for combining any kind of individual classifiers. On applying these methods to combine several classifiers for recognizing totally unconstrained handwritten numerals, the experimental results show that the performance of individual classifiers can be improved significantly. For example, on the US zipcode database, 98.9% recognition with 0.90% substitution and 0.2% rejection can be obtained, as well as high reliability with 95% recognition, 0% substitution, and 5% rejection. >

Comparison of different fusion approaches for network intrusion detection using ensemble of RBFNN

Chan, +3 more
TL;DR: A comparative study on adopting different fusion strategies for a MCS in DoS problem is provided and it is shown that Majority vote, average, weighted sum, weighted majority vote, neural network and Dempster-Shafer combination are the fusion strategies that have been widely adopted.

Data equalisation with evidence combination for pattern recognition

TL;DR: Data equalisation is applied to output nodes of individual classifier in a multi-classifiers system such that the average difference of the output activation values is smaller to improve the accuracy rate of a combined classifier which aggregates the outputs of the front-end classifiers.

StrCombo : combination of string recognizers

TL;DR: A graph-based approach that regards each segment from individual string recognizers as nodes of a graph, and choose the optimal path with the lowest cost to output a combined result is proposed.

Probabilistic Reasoning in Intelligent Systems: Networks of Plausible Inference

TL;DR: Probabilistic Reasoning in Intelligent Systems as mentioned in this paper is a complete and accessible account of the theoretical foundations and computational methods that underlie plausible reasoning under uncertainty, and provides a coherent explication of probability as a language for reasoning with partial belief.

A mathematical theory of evidence

Glenn Shafer
TL;DR: This book develops an alternative to the additive set functions and the rule of conditioning of the Bayesian theory: set functions that need only be what Choquet called "monotone of order of infinity." and Dempster's rule for combining such set functions.
