Abstract

Many data mining problems involve an investigation of relationships between features in heterogeneous datasets, where different learning algorithms can be more appropriate for different regions. We propose herein a technique of localized voting of weak classifiers. This technique identifies local regions which have similar characteristics and then uses the votes of each local expert to describe the relationship between the data characteristics and the target class. We performed a comparison with other well known combining methods on standard benchmark datasets and the accuracy of the proposed method was greater.
