Ensemble Methods of Appropriate Capacity for Multi-Class Support Vector Machines

Roughly speaking, there is one single model of pattern recognition support vector machine (SVM), with variants of lower popularity. On the contrary, among the different multi-class SVMs (M-SVMs) published, none is clearly favoured. Although several comparative studies between M-SVMs and decomposition methods have been reported, no attention had been paid so far to the combination of those models. We investigate the combination of M-SVMs with low capacity linear ensemble methods that estimate the class posterior probabilities.
