PY - 2006 TI - Design of Output Codes for Fast Covering Learning using Basic Decomposition Techniques JF - Journal of Computer Science VL - 2 IS - 7 DO - 10.3844/jcssp.2006.565.571 UR - https://thescipub.com/abstract/jcssp.2006.565.571 AB - We propose the design of output codes for solving the classification problem in Fast Covering Learning Algorithm (FCLA). For a complex multi-class problem normally the classifiers are constructed by combining the outputs of several binary ones. In this paper, we use the basic methods of decomposition; one per class (OPC) and Error Correcting Output Code (ECOC) with FCLA, binary to binary mapping algorithm as a base binary learner. The methods have been tested on Fisher’s well-known Iris data set and experimental results show that the classification ability is improved by using ECOC method.
