A New Dynamic Classifier Selection Method For Text Classification, İsmai̇l Terzi̇, Alper Kürşat Uysal Jul 2024

A New Dynamic Classifier Selection Method For Text Classification, İsmai̇l Terzi̇, Alper Kürşat Uysal

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The primary objective of employing multiple classifier systems (MCS) in pattern recognition is to enhance classification accuracy. Dynamic classifier selection (DCS) and dynamic ensemble selection (DES) are two purposeful forms of multiple classifier systems. While DES involves the selection of a classifier set followed by decision combination, DCS opts for the choice of a single competent classifier, eliminating the necessity for classifier combination. As a consequence, DCS methods exhibit superior efficiency in terms of processing time and memory usage compared to DES methods. Moreover, a substantial performance gap exists between the performance of Oracle and both DES and DCS methods. …
