Abstract

The error correcting output code (ECOC) technique is a genesral framework to solve the multi-class problems using binary classifiers. The key problem in this approach is how to construct the optimal ECOC codewords i.e. the codewords which maximize the recognition ratio of the final classifier. There are several methods described in the literature to solve this problem. All these methods try to maximize the minimal Hamming distance between the generated codewords. In this paper we are showing another approach based both on the average Hamming distance and the estimated misclassification error of the binary classifiers.
