La Prof.ssa Ludmila Kuncheva dell’Universita’ di Bangor (UK) terra’ un ciclo di seminari su "Classifier Ensembles".

Le lezioni si terranno presso l’Aula Mocci del Pad. A del Dip. Ing. Elettrica ed Elettronica (Piazza D’Armi) secondo il seguente calendario:

 

Venerdi’ 11 settembre 10 - 13

Mercoledi’ 16 settembre 11 - 13

Venerdi’ 18 settembre 10 - 13

 

La Prof. Kuncheva è Reader presso la School of Computer Science dell’Universita’ di Bangor (UK). Nel 2004 ha pubblicato il libro "Combining Pattern Classifiers. Methods and Algorithms", Wiley.

 

Sommario delle lezioni

Classifier ensembles are a growing area of pattern recognition and machine learning. This course will set up the pattern recognition background and will introduce the basics of classifier ensembles.

Ensemble approaches and methods will be presented including the "classics" such as bagging, boosting, random subspace, random forest end ECOC ensembles, as well as more recent additions to the ensemble collection, e.g., rotation forest and random oracle ensembles. We will take a look at the ensemble design strategies and combination rules, and will discuss intuition and theory about why classifier ensembles work.

Diversity among the classifiers in the ensemble will be explained, along with its relationship with the ensemble accuracy. Cluster ensembles will be briefly presented, and we will touch upon classifier ensembles for changing environments.
