Abstract

For a complex multiclass problem, it is common to construct the multiclass classifier by combining the outputs of several binary ones. The two basic methods for this purpose are known as one-per-class (OPC) and pairwise coupling (PWC) and their general form is error correcting output code (ECOC). In this paper, we review basic decomposition methods and introduce a new sequential fusion method based on OPC and PWC according to their properties. In the experiments, we compare our proposed method with each basic method and ECOC method. The experimental results show that our proposed method can improve significantly the classification accuracy on the real dataset.
