Abstract
En 中文
The fusion of one-class classifiers (OCCs) has been shown to exhibit promising performance in a variety of machine learning applications. The ability to assess the similarity or correlation between the output of various OCCs is an important prerequisite for building of a meaningful OCCs ensemble. However, this aspect of the OCC fusion problem has been mostly ignored so far. In this paper, we propose a new method of constructing a fusion of OCCs with three contributions: (a) As a key contribution, enabling an OCC ensemble design using exclusively non anomalous samples, we propose a novel fitness function to evaluate the competency of OCCs without requiring samples from the anomalous class; (b) As a minor, but impactful contribution, we investigate alternative forms of score normalisation of OCCs, and identify a novel two-sided normalisation method as the best in coping with long tail non anomalous data distributions; (c) In the context of building our proposed OCC fusion system based on the weighted averaging approach, we find that the weights optimised using a particle swarm optimisation algorithm produce the most effective solution. We evaluate the merits of the proposed method on 15 benchmarking datasets from different application domains including medical, anti-spam and face spoofing detection. The comparison of the proposed approach with state-of-the-art methods alongside the statistical analysis confirm the effectiveness of the proposed model. (c) 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
