A novel algorithm for discriminative training of Choquet-integral-based fusion operators is described. Fusion is performed by Choquet integration of classifier outputs with respect to fuzzy measures. The fusion operators are determined by the parameters of fuzzy measures. These parameters are found by minimizing a minimum classification error (MCE) objective function. The minimization is performed with respect to a special class of measures, the Sugeno -measures. An analytic expression is derived for the gradient of the Choquet integral with respect to the Sugeno -measure. The new algorithm is applied to a landmine detection problem, and compared to previous techniques.Index Terms-Choquet integral, fuzzy measures, least squared error (LSE), minimum classification error (MCE), Sugeno -measure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
