Combining: an alternative for choosing between reject-first and accept-first classifiers
L. Mascarilla, Carl Frélicot, E.-H. Zahzah · 2003
In the general framework of pattern classification two reject strategies are identified. These classifiers are defined as a couple of labeling and hardening functions. In this paper the first stage of classifiers belonging to each strategy are used in turn and their results are combined with a Dempster-Shafer model to classify or reject patterns. Results on artificial data are provided.
