Combining Pattern Classifiers: Methods and AlgorithmsCovering pattern classification methods, Combining Classifiers: Ideas and Methods focuses on the important and widely studied issue of how to combine several classifiers together in order to achieve improved recognition performance. It is one of the first books to provide unified, coherent, and expansive coverage of the topic and as such will be welcomed by those involved in the area. With case studies that bring the text alive and demonstrate 'real-world' applications it is destined to become essential reading. |
