Abstract

Supervised classification based on error-correcting output codes (ECOC) is an efficient method to solve the problem of multi-class classification, and how to get the accurate probability estimation via ECOC is also an attractive research direction. This paper proposed three kinds of ECOC to get unbiased probability estimates, and investigated the corresponding classification performance in depth at the same time. Two evaluating criterions for ECOC that has better classification performance were concluded, which are Bayes consistence and unbiasedness of probability estimation. Experimental results on artificial data sets and UCI data sets validate the correctness of our conclusion.
