Error Correcting Output Coding(ECOC) is used to solve multi-class problem. It is known that it improves the classification accuracy. In this paper, we compared various criteria to design code matrix while encoding. In addition. we prorpose an ensemble which uses the ability of each classifier while decoding. We investigate the justification of the proposed method through real data and synthetic data.

As one of multi-class classification methods, ECOC (Error Correcting Output Coding) method is known to have low classification error rate. This paper aims at suggesting effective multi-class classification method (1) by comparing various encoding methods and decoding methods in ECOC method and (2) by comparing ECOC method and direct classification method. Both SVM (Support Vector Machine) and logistic regression model were used as binary classifiers in comparison.

최근 기계학습 분야에서 커널머신을 이용한 대표적 학습기로 Support Vector Machines (SVM)이 주목 받고 있다. SVM은 통계적 학습이론에 기반하여 뛰어난 일반화 성능을 보여주며, 다양한 패턴인식 문제에 적용되고 있다. 그러나. SVM은 이진 분류기이므로 일반적인 다중 클래스 문제에 곧바로 적용할 수 없다. SVM을 다중 클래스 문제의 하나인 얼굴인식에 도입하기 위한 방법으로는, One-Per-Class와 All-Pairs가 대표적이다. 상기 두 방법은 다중 클래스 문제를 여러 개의 이진 클래스 문제로 분할하고, 이들을 다시 종합하여 최종 결정을 내리는 출력코딩이라는 일반적인 방법에 속한다. 본 논문에서는 이진 분류기인 SVM의 다중 클래스 분류기 확장 방안으로 출력코딩 방법론을 설명한다. 또한 출력코딩 방법론의 대표적인 이론적 기반인 ECOC(Ewor-Correcting Output Codes)를 근간으로 하는 새로운 출력코딩 방법들을 제안하고, 얼굴인식 실험을 통해 SVM을 기반 분류기로 사용할 경우의, 출력코딩 방법의 특성을 비교$\cdot$분석한다.

The randomness and incipient nature of certain faults in reactor systems warrant a robust and dynamic detection mechanism. Existing models and methods for fault diagnosis using different mathematical/statistical inferences lack incipient and novel faults detection capability. To this end, we propose a fault diagnosis method that utilizes the flexibility of data-driven Support Vector Machine (SVM) for component-level fault diagnosis. The technique integrates separately-built, separately-trained, specialized SVM modules capable of component-level fault diagnosis into a coherent intelligent system, with each SVM module monitoring sub-units of the reactor coolant system. To evaluate the model, marginal faults selected from the failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) are simulated in the steam generator and pressure boundary of the Chinese CNP300 PWR (Qinshan I NPP) reactor coolant system, using a best-estimate thermal-hydraulic code, RELAP5/SCDAP Mod4.0. Multiclass SVM model is trained with component level parameters that represent the steady state and selected faults in the components. For optimization purposes, we considered and compared the performances of different multiclass models in MATLAB, using different coding matrices, as well as different kernel functions on the representative data derived from the simulation of Qinshan I NPP. An optimum predictive model - the Error Correcting Output Code (ECOC) with TenaryComplete coding matrix - was obtained from experiments, and utilized to diagnose the incipient faults. Some of the important diagnostic results and heuristic model evaluation methods are presented in this paper.
