This paper proposes an assembling classifier consisting of a global classifier and a local classifier, named as GCLC. To this end, we present a weighted Support Vector Machine (wSVM) that serves as the global classifier, and a fuzzy k-nearest neighbor (fkNN) that serves as the local one. When a query arrives, wSVM labels it firstly. If the global decision is below some threshold, the local fkNN works to provide an improved decision. Extensive experiments on real datasets demonstrate the performance of GCLC compared with the state of the art.
