Abstract

In addition to a study on how to combine multiple classifiers in multiple classifier systems, recently a study on how to select multiple classifiers from a classifier pool has been investigated, because the performance of multiple classifier systems depends on the selected classifiers as well as a combination method. Previous studies on the selection of multiple classifiers select a classifier set based on the assumption that the number of selected classifiers is fixed in advance, or based on the clustering followed the diversity criteria of classifiers in the classifier overproduce and choose paradigm. In this paper, by minimizing the conditional entropy which is the upper bound of Bayes error rate, a new selection method is considered and devised with no prior limit to the number of classifiers, as illustrated in examples.
