Advancing Ensemble Learning Performance through data transformation and classifiers fusion in granular computing context

Abstract

Classification is a special type of machine learning tasks, which is essentially achieved by training a classifier that can be used to classify new instances. In order to train a high performance classifier, it is crucial to extract representative features from raw data, such as text and images. In reality, instances could be highly diverse even if they belong to the same class, which indicates different instances of the same class could represent very different characteristics. For example, in a facial expression recognition task, some instances may be better described by Histogram of Oriented Gradients features, while others may be better presented by Local Binary Patterns features. From this point of view, it is necessary to adopt ensemble learning to train different classifiers on different feature sets and to fuse these classifiers towards more accurate classification of each instance. On the other hand, different algorithms are likely to show different suitability for training classifiers on different feature sets. It shows again the necessity to adopt ensemble learning towards advances in the classification performance. Furthermore, a multiclass classification task would become increasingly more complex when the number of classes is increased, i.e. it would lead to the increased difficulty in terms of discriminating different classes. In this paper, we propose an ensemble learning framework that involves transforming a multi-class classi

A Variable-Scale Data Analysis-Based Identification Method for Key Cost Center in Intelligent Manufacturing

“…It should consider not only the quality of local algorithm results on each scale but also the consistency of results between different analysis hierarchies. According to the granular computing theory [ 28 , 29 ], the knowledge granularity could clearly measure the amount of information among different analysis hierarchies, which helps evaluate the scale transformation process [ 30 , 31 ].…”

Vote-Based: Ensemble Approach

“…Generally, its behaviour majorly depends upon the features of various suggested areas. Therefore, the performance evaluation of ensemble and ML models for votebased assessment is significantly desired, although many assessment assignments have been agreed out by researchers, such as [ 6,7,8]. There are a wide variety of methods to build ensembles.…”

Deep Learning Based Fusion Approach for Hate Speech Detection

“…Bagging and boosting are classical ensemble learning methods. However, bagging or boosting is based on the same classification algorithm, focusing on the diversity of the data samples, and is short of diversity creation through different algorithms [8]. In addition, feature extraction based on various classifiers is more significant in NLP [23].…”

“…The underlying idea of ensemble learning is that even if one weak classifier gets the wrong prediction, other classifiers can correct the error back to some extent. The two most common ways of ensemble learning are bagging and boosting [8]. However, these two methods are unsuitable for ensemble learning between different classifiers.…”
