On combining classifiers

TLDR
A common theoretical framework for combining classifiers which use distinct pattern representations is developed and it is shown that many existing schemes can be considered as special cases of compound classification where all the pattern representations are used jointly to make a decision.
Abstract
We develop a common theoretical framework for combining classifiers which use distinct pattern representations and show that many existing schemes can be considered as special cases of compound classification where all the pattern representations are used jointly to make a decision. An experimental comparison of various classifier combination schemes demonstrates that the combination rule developed under the most restrictive assumptions-the sum rule-outperforms other classifier combinations schemes. A sensitivity analysis of the various schemes to estimation errors is carried out to show that this finding can be justified theoretically.

3D Convolutional Neural Networks for Human Action Recognition

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper developed a novel 3D CNN model for action recognition, which extracts features from both the spatial and the temporal dimensions by performing 3D convolutions, thereby capturing the motion information encoded in multiple adjacent frames.

Experiments with a new boosting algorithm

TL;DR: This paper describes experiments carried out to assess how well AdaBoost with and without pseudo-loss, performs on real learning problems and compared boosting to Breiman's "bagging" method when used to aggregate various classifiers.

TL;DR: The conclusion is that for almost any real-world generalization problem one should use some version of stacked generalization to minimize the generalization error rate.

Neural network ensembles

TL;DR: It is shown that the remaining residual generalization error can be reduced by invoking ensembles of similar networks, which helps improve the performance and training of neural networks for classification.
