A non-parametric approach to extending generic binary classifiers for multi-classification

作者:

Highlights:

• Ensemble methods combine binary classifiers to yield a multi-classification output.

• One-vs-one ensemble: binary classifiers trained to discriminate each class pair.

• We propose a robust non-parametric probabilistic one-vs-one ensemble method: KDEMRP.

• KDEMRP improves classification performance over state-of-the-art (DCS, DRCW).

• KDEMRP improvements are statistically significant.
