    Eigenclassifiers for combining correlated classifiers
    (Elsevier Science Inc, 2012-03-15) Ulaş, Aydın; Yıldız, Olcay Taner; Alpaydın, Ahmet İbrahim Ethem
    In practice, classifiers in an ensemble are not independent. This paper is the continuation of our previous work on ensemble subset selection [A. Ulas, M. Semerci, O.T. Yildiz, E. Alpaydin, Incremental construction of classifier and discriminant ensembles, Information Sciences, 179 (9) (2009) 1298-1318] and has two parts: first, we investigate the effect of four factors on correlation: (i) algorithms used for training, (ii) hyperparameters of the algorithms, (iii) resampled training sets, (iv) input feature subsets. Simulations using 14 classifiers on 38 data sets indicate that hyperparameters and overlapping training sets have higher effect on positive correlation than features and algorithms. Second, we propose postprocessing before fusing using principal component analysis (PCA) to form uncorrelated eigenclassifiers from a set of correlated experts. Combining the information from all classifiers may be better than subset selection where some base classifiers are pruned before combination, because using all allows redundancy.

    Mapping classifiers and datasets
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2011-04) Yıldız, Olcay Taner
    Given the posterior probability estimates of 14 classifiers on 38 datasets, we plot two-dimensional maps of classifiers and datasets using principal component analysis (PCA) and Isomap. The similarity between classifiers indicate correlation (or diversity) between them and can be used in deciding whether to include both in an ensemble. Similarly, datasets which are too similar need not both be used in a general comparison experiment. The results show that (i) most of the datasets (approximately two third) we used are similar to each other, (ii) multilayer perceptrons and k-nearest neighbor variants are more similar to each other than support vector machine and decision tree variants. (iii) the number of classes and the sample size has an effect on similarity.
