Modular pattern classifiers: a brief survey
Md Abul Bashar Sarkar · 2002
While solving a complex pattern classification problem, it is often difficult to design a monolithic classifier. One approach is to divide the problem into smaller ones, and solve each subproblem using a simpler classifier. This kind of divide and conquer policy has motivated the researchers to substitute a modular classifier for the single monolithic classifier. The paper reviews the advantages, issues and various techniques available for designing the modular classifiers.
