Ordinal classification using Pareto fronts

作者：

Highlights：

• We present an ordinal classification method using Pareto fronts.

• We define Pareto fronts describing class boundaries for a separable sample.

• We propose to predict the object class using the nearest Pareto front boundary.

• The proposed method is illustrated by a problem of IUCN Red List categorization.
