ICPRAI 2018 SI: On dynamic ensemble selection and data preprocessing for multi-class imbalance learning

Rafael M. O. Cruz, Mariana A. Souza, Robert Sabourin +1

Class-imbalance refers to classification problems in which many more instances are available for certain classes than for others. Such imbalanced datasets require special attention…

On Meta-Learning for Dynamic Ensemble Selection

Rafael M. O. Cruz, Robert Sabourin, George D. C. Cavalcanti

In this paper, we propose a novel dynamic ensemble selection framework using meta-learning. The framework is divided into three steps. In the first step, the pool of classifiers is…

META-DES.H: a dynamic ensemble selection technique using meta-learning and a dynamic weighting approach

Rafael M. O. Cruz, Robert Sabourin, George D. C. Cavalcanti

In Dynamic Ensemble Selection (DES) techniques, only the most competent classifiers are selected to classify a given query sample. Hence, the key issue in DES is how to estimate th…

Analyzing different prototype selection techniques for dynamic classifier and ensemble selection

Rafael M. O. Cruz, Robert Sabourin, George D. C. Cavalcanti

In dynamic selection (DS) techniques, only the most competent classifiers, for the classification of a specific test sample are selected to predict the sample's class labels. The m…

A Method For Dynamic Ensemble Selection Based on a Filter and an Adaptive Distance to Improve the Quality of the Regions of Competence

Rafael M. O. Cruz, George D. C. Cavalcanti, Tsang Ing Ren

Dynamic classifier selection systems aim to select a group of classifiers that is most adequate for a specific query pattern. This is done by defining a region around the query pat…

META-DES: A Dynamic Ensemble Selection Framework using Meta-Learning

Rafael M. O. Cruz, Robert Sabourin, George D. C. Cavalcanti +1

Dynamic ensemble selection systems work by estimating the level of competence of each classifier from a pool of classifiers. Only the most competent ones are selected to classify a…

Online local pool generation for dynamic classifier selection: an extended version

Mariana A. Souza, George D. C. Cavalcanti, Rafael M. O. Cruz +1

Dynamic Classifier Selection (DCS) techniques have difficulty in selecting the most competent classifier in a pool, even when its presence is assured. Since the DCS techniques rely…
