Combination of multiple classifiers using local accuracy estimates

Woods, K., Kegelmeyer, W.P., Bowyer, K.·1997·IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence

Abstract

This paper presents a method for combining classifiers that uses estimates of each individual classifier's local accuracy in small regions of feature space surrounding an unknown test sample. An empirical evaluation using five real data sets confirms the validity of our approach compared to some other combination of multiple classifiers algorithms. We also suggest a methodology for determining the best mix of individual classifiers.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
