One-Class Classification: Taxonomy of Study and Review of Techniques
One-class classification (OCC) algorithms aim to build classification models
when the negative class is either absent, poorly sampled or not well defined.
This unique situation constrains the learning of efficient classifiers by
defining class boundary just with the knowledge of positive class. The OCC
problem has been considered and applied under many research themes, such as
outlier/novelty detection and concept learning. In this paper we present a
unified view of the general problem of OCC by presenting a taxonomy of study
for OCC problems, which is based on the availability of training data,
algorithms used and the application domains applied. We further delve into each
of the categories of the proposed taxonomy and present a comprehensive
literature review of the OCC algorithms, techniques and methodologies with a
focus on their significance, limitations and applications. We conclude our
paper by discussing some open research problems in the field of OCC and present
our vision for future research.Comment: 24 pages + 11 pages of references, 8 figure
Randomized Reference Classifier with Gaussian Distribution and Soft Confusion Matrix Applied to the Improving Weak Classifiers
In this paper, an issue of building the RRC model using probability
distributions other than beta distribution is addressed. More precisely, in
this paper, we propose to build the RRR model using the truncated normal
distribution. Heuristic procedures for expected value and the variance of the
truncated-normal distribution are also proposed. The proposed approach is
tested using SCM-based model for testing the consequences of applying the
truncated normal distribution in the RRC model. The experimental evaluation is
performed using four different base classifiers and seven quality measures. The
results showed that the proposed approach is comparable to the RRC model built
using beta distribution. What is more, for some base classifiers, the
truncated-normal-based SCM algorithm turned out to be better at discovering
objects coming from minority classes.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1901.0882
Ensemble deep learning: A review
Ensemble learning combines several individual models to obtain better
generalization performance. Currently, deep learning models with multilayer
processing architecture is showing better performance as compared to the
shallow or traditional classification models. Deep ensemble learning models
combine the advantages of both the deep learning models as well as the ensemble
learning such that the final model has better generalization performance. This
paper reviews the state-of-art deep ensemble models and hence serves as an
extensive summary for the researchers. The ensemble models are broadly
categorised into ensemble models like bagging, boosting and stacking, negative
correlation based deep ensemble models, explicit/implicit ensembles,
homogeneous /heterogeneous ensemble, decision fusion strategies, unsupervised,
semi-supervised, reinforcement learning and online/incremental, multilabel
based deep ensemble models. Application of deep ensemble models in different
domains is also briefly discussed. Finally, we conclude this paper with some
future recommendations and research directions
