A post-selection algorithm for improving dynamic ensemble selection methods

1 code implementation25 Sep 2023 Paulo R. G. Cordeiro, George D. C. Cavalcanti, Rafael M. O. Cruz

To evaluate this idea, we introduce the Post-Selection Dynamic Ensemble Selection (PS-DES) approach, a post-selection scheme that evaluates ensembles selected by several DES techniques using different metrics.

The choice of scaling technique matters for classification performance

1 code implementation23 Dec 2022 Lucas B. V. de Amorim, George D. C. Cavalcanti, Rafael M. O. Cruz

In this paper, we execute a broad experiment comparing the impact of 5 scaling techniques on the performances of 20 classification algorithms among monolithic and ensemble models, applying them to 82 publicly available datasets with varying imbalance ratios.

Local overlap reduction procedure for dynamic ensemble selection

1 code implementation16 Jun 2022 Mariana A. Souza, Robert Sabourin, George D. C. Cavalcanti, Rafael M. O. Cruz

Class imbalance is a characteristic known for making learning more challenging for classification models as they may end up biased towards the majority class.

Label noise detection under the Noise at Random model with ensemble filters

1 code implementation2 Dec 2021 Kecia G. Moura, Ricardo B. C. Prudêncio, George D. C. Cavalcanti

This work investigates the performance of ensemble noise detection under two different noise models: the Noisy at Random (NAR), in which the probability of label noise depends on the instance class, in comparison to the Noisy Completely at Random model, in which the probability of label noise is entirely independent.

Multi-label learning for dynamic model type recommendation

1 code implementation1 Apr 2020 Mariana A. Souza, Robert Sabourin, George D. C. Cavalcanti, Rafael M. O. Cruz

Our proposed framework builds a multi-label meta-classifier responsible for recommending a set of relevant model types based on the local data complexity of the region surrounding each test sample.

In order to perform a more robust ensemble selection, we proposed the META-DES framework using meta-learning, where multiple criteria are encoded as meta-features and are passed down to a meta-classifier that is trained to estimate the competence level of a given classifier.
