Abstract. Semi-supervised learning and ensemble learning are two important learning paradigms. The former attempts to achieve strong generalization by exploiting unlabeled data; th...
Weighted averaging of classifier outputs is used in many MCSs, yet is still not well understood. Several empirical studies have investigated the effect that non-negativity and su...
Machine Learning can be divided into two schools of thought: generative model learning and discriminative model learning. While the MCS community has been focused mainly on the lat...
An ensemble is generated by training multiple component learners for a same task and then combining them for predictions. It is known that when lots of trained learners are availab...
The meta-learner MLR (Multi-response Linear Regression) has been proposed as a trainable combiner for fusing heterogeneous baselevel classifiers. Although it has interesting prope...
