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. >read more

On the combination of naive Bayes and decision trees for intrusion detection
Salem Benferhat,Karim Tabia +1 more
TL;DR: A hybrid classifier is proposed that exploits complementaries between decision trees and naive Bayes to reduce false negative rate and to reexamine decision Trees and Bayes nets outputs by an anomaly-based detection system.

Classification by pairwise coupling of imprecise probabilities
TL;DR: The interest of the approach for solving multi-class classification problems, particularly when information is scarce, is shown, as modeling the lack of information associated with classifier outputs gives good results even when they are poorly regularized or overfit the data.

Pairwise Nonparametric Discriminant Analysis for Binary Plankton Image Recognition
TL;DR: A novel subspace classification framework, called pairwise nonparametric discriminant analysis for binary plankton image recognition, which decomposes the multiclass recognition into a combination of pairwise binary classes, and combines all the pairwise classifiers using an efficient fusion rule for real-time classification.

Feature selection based on measurement of ability to classify subproblems
Shu-Qin Wang,Jinmao Wei +1 more
TL;DR: Two algorithms are designed for progressively selecting features, by firstly eliminating irrelevant features and then abandoning redundant features based on discrimination structure complementarity, and Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

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
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.
