EVOL: ensembles voting online
G. Auda, Mohamed S. Kamel · 2002
Cooperation by voting is one of the popular modular neural network decision-making strategies. Ensemble classifiers are multiple identical modules which use voting for post-learning classification. This paper suggests a new cooperation scheme for ensembles which utilizes voting in the learning process itself. According to the suggested scheme, different modules would, automatically, focus on different regions in the input space. Hence, temporal crosstalk decreases and decision boundaries are drawn accurately in complex overlapping regions of the input space.
