Abstract

Majority voting in classifier combination treats all base classifiers equally without considering their performance differences. By analyzing the constraints imposed by the margins of an ensemble classifier, a set of weights can be computed to give better prediction than the majority voting. We propose a regularized classifier combination strategy that maximize the entropy of probability weights assigned to base classifiers subjected to the margin constraints of the ensemble classifier. Furthermore, we show that a sparse solution with a set of support vectors for ensemble classifier can be obtained.
