Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
The probabilistic classification vector machine (PCVM) synthesizes the advantages of both the support vector machine and the relevant vector machine, delivering a sparse Bayesian solution to classification problems. However, the PCVM is currently only applicable to binary cases. Extending the PCVM to multiclass cases via heuristic voting strategies such as one-vs-rest or one-vs-one often results in a dilemma where classifiers make contradictory predictions, and those strategies might lose the benefits of probabilistic outputs. To overcome this problem, we extend the PCVM and propose a multiclass PCVM (mPCVM). Two learning algorithms, i.e., one top-down algorithm and one bottom-up algorithm, have been implemented in the mPCVM. The top-down algorithm obtains the maximum a posteriori (MAP) point estimates of the parameters based on an expectation-maximization algorithm, and the bottom-up algorithm is an incremental paradigm by maximizing the marginal likelihood. The superior performance of the mPCVMs, especially when the investigated problem has a large number of classes, is extensively evaluated on the synthetic and benchmark data sets.
