17th International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR'04) - Volume 1 Product Approximation by Minimizing the Upper Bound of Bayes Error Rate for Bayesian Combination of Classifiers Cambridge UK August 23-August 26 ISBN: 0-7695-2128-2
In combining multiple classifiers using a Bayesian formalism, a high dimensional probability distribution is composed of a class and decisions of classifiers. In order to do product approximation of the probability distribution, the upper bound of Bayes error rate, bounded by the conditional entropy of a class and decisions, should be minimized. A second-order dependency-based product approximation is proposed in this paper by considering the second-order dependency between the class and decisions. The proposed method is evaluated by combining the classifiers recognizing unconstrained handwritten numerals.
