In this paper, the classification performances of inductive learning methods are investigated using the credit rating data. The adopted classifiers are Multiple Discriminant Analysis (MDA), C4.5 of Quilan, Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) and Cascade Correlation Network (CCN). The data used in this analysis is obtained using the publicly announced rating reports from the three korean rating agencies. The performances of 4 classifiers are analyzed in term of prediction accuracy. The results show that no classifier is dominated by the other classifiers.

The HMM-Net is an architecture for a neural network that implements a hidden Markov model (HMM). The architecture is developed for the purpose of combining the discriminant power of neural networks with the time-domain modeling capability of HMMs. Criteria used for learning HMM-Net classifiers are maximum likelihood (ML), maximum mutual information (MMI), and minimization of mean squared error(MMSE). In this paper we propose an efficient learning method of HMM-Net classifiers using hybrid criteria, ML/MMSE and MMI/MMSE, and report the results of an experimental study comparing the performance of HMM-Net classifiers trained by the gradient descent algorithm with the above criteria. Experimental results for the isolated numeric digits from /0/ to /9/ show that the performance of the proposed method is better than the others in the respects of learning and recognition rates.

In this paper, we evaluate and compare the performance of speech/music discrimination based on various feature parameters and classifiers. As for feature parameters, we consider High Zero Crossing Rate Ratio (HZCRR), Low Short Time Energy Ratio (LSTER), Spectral Flux (SF), Line Spectral Pair (LSP) distance, entropy and dynamism. We also examine three classifiers: k Nearest Neighbor (k-NN), Gaussian Mixure Model (GMM), and Hidden Markov Model (HMM). According to our experiments, LSP distance and phoneme-recognizer-based feature set (entropy and dunamism) show good performance, while performance differences due to different classifiers are not significant. When all the six feature parameters are employed, average speech/music discrimination accuracy up to 96.6% is achieved.

Human posture recognition is an attractive and challenging topic in computer vision due to its promising applications in the areas of personal health care, environmental awareness, human-computer-interaction and surveillance systems. Human posture recognition in video sequences consists of two stages: the first stage is training and evaluation and the second is deployment. In the first stage, the system is trained and evaluated using datasets of human postures to ‘teach’ the system to classify human postures for any future inputs. When the training and evaluation process is deemed satisfactory as measured by recognition rates, the trained system is then deployed to recognize human postures in any input video sequence. Different classifiers were used in the training such as Multilayer Perceptron Feedforward Neural networks, Self-Organizing Maps, Fuzzy C Means and K Means. Results show that supervised learning classifiers tend to perform better than unsupervised classifiers for the case of human posture recognition.

The HMM-Net is an architecture for a neural network that implements a hidden markov model (HMM). The architecture is developed for the purpose of combining the discriminant power of neural networks with the time-domain modeling capability of HMMs. Criteria used for learning HMM-Net classifiers are maximum likelihood(ML) and minimization of mean squared error(MMSE). In this paper we propose an efficient learning method of HMM_Net classifiers using a ML-MMSE hybrid criterion and report the results of an experimental study comparing the performance of HMM_Net classifiers trained by the gradient descent algorithm with the above criteria. Experimental results for the isolated numeric digits from /0/ to /9/ show that the performance of the proposed method is better than the others in the repects of learning and recognition rates.

Ensemble classification is an approach that combines individually trained classifiers in order to improve prediction accuracy over individual classifiers. Ensemble techniques have been shown to be very effective in improving the generalization ability of the classifier. But base classifiers need to be as accurate and diverse as possible in order to enhance the generalization abilities of an ensemble model. Bagging is one of the most popular ensemble methods. In bagging, the different training data subsets are randomly drawn with replacement from the original training dataset. Base classifiers are trained on the different bootstrap samples. In this study we proposed a new bagging variant ensemble model, Randomized Bagging (RBagging) for improving the standard bagging ensemble model. The proposed model was applied to the bankruptcy prediction problem using a real data set and the results were compared with those of the other models. The experimental results showed that the proposed model outperformed the standard bagging model.

This paper proposes a multiple classifier system having massive micro classifiers. The micro classifiers are trained by using a local set of training patterns. The k nearest neighboring training patterns of one training pattern comprise the local region for training a micro classifier. Each training pattern is incorporated with one or more micro classifiers. Two types of micro classifiers are adapted in this paper. SVM with linear kernel and SVM with RBF kernel. Classification is done by selecting the best micro classifier among the micro classifiers in vicinity of incoming test pattern. To measure the goodness of each micro classifier, the weighted sum of correctly classified training patterns in vicinity of the test pattern is used. Experiments have been done on Elena database. Results show that the proposed method gives better classification accuracy than any conventional classifiers like SVM, k-NN and the conventional classifier combination/selection scheme.

Recent researches in the recognition system have shown that SVM (Support Vector Machine) classifiers often have superior recognition rates in comparison to other classifiers. In this paper, we present the handwritten numeral recognition algorithm using SVM classifiers. The numeral features used in our algorithm are mesh features, directional features by Kirsch operators and concavity features, where first two features represent the foreground information of numerals and the last feature represents the background information of numerals. These features are complements each of the other. Since SVM is basically a binary classifier, it is required to construct and combine several binary SVMs to get the multi-class classifiers. We use two strategies for implementing multi-class SVM classifiers: "one against one" and "one against the rest", and examine their performances on the features used. The efficiency of our method is tested by the CENPARMI handwritten numeral database, and the recognition rate of 98.45% is achieved.
