Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
A common way of solving a multi-class classification problem is to decompose it into a collection of simpler two-class problems. One major disadvantage is that with such a binary decomposition scheme it may be difficult to represent subtle between-class differences in many-class classification problems due to limited choices of binary-value partitions. To overcome this challenge, we propose a new decomposition method called N-ary decomposition that decomposes the original multi-class problem into a set of simpler multi-class subproblems. We theoretically show that the proposed N-ary decomposition could be unified into the framework of error correcting output codes and give the generalization error bound of an N-ary decomposition for multi-class classification. Extensive experimental results demonstrate the state-of-the-art performance of our approach.
