Title
Ensemble Learning Based On Fitness Euclidean-Distance Ratio Differential Evolution For Classification
Abstract
Ensemble learning is a system that combines a set of base learners to improve the performance in machine learning, where accuracy and diversity of base learners are two important factors. However, these two factors are usually contradictory. To address this problem, in this paper, we propose a novel ensemble learning algorithm based on fitness Euclidean-distance ratio differential evolution, to train the neural network ensemble. FEFERR_ELA employs a multimodal evolutionary algorithm that is capable of producing diverse solutions to search for optimal solutions corresponding to parameters of base learners, where each optimal solution leads to one trained model. A dynamic ensemble selection scheme is applied to select appropriate individuals for the ensemble. The proposed algorithm is evaluated on several benchmark problems and compared with some related ensemble learning models. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms the related works and can produce the neural network ensembles with better generalization.
