On the usefulness of one-class classifier ensembles for decomposition of multi-class problems

作者:

Highlights:

• A novel approach for tackling multi-class problems with ensemble of one-class classifiers.

• A thorough analysis on areas of applicability of one-class decomposition.

• Identification of problems, for which one-class decomposition is superior to binarization.

• Examination of correlations between the used fusion technique and decomposition scheme.

• An exhaustive experimental study that gives a detailed outlook on the quality of investigated methods.
