Abstract

A new method for weighting individual classifiers in a multiple classifier system based on their local within-class accuracies is proposed. For an example to be classified distance metric learning is applied to determine the within-class nearest neighbors. Then the local within-class accuracy of an individual classifier for classifying this example is judged by its performance on these neighbors, which is further used to weight the individual classifier. Experimental results on nine data sets show the effectiveness of the proposed weighting method.
