Abstract: The idea of using ensembles of classifiers is to increase the performance when compared to applying a single classifier. Crucial to the performance improvement is the diversity of the ensemble. A classifier ensemble is considered to be diverse, if the classifiers make no coinciding errors. Several studies discuss the diversity issue and its relation to the ensemble accuracy. Most of them proposed measures that are based on an ”Oracle” classification. In this paper, we propose a new probability-based diversity measure for ensembles of unsupervised classifiers, i.e., when no Oracle machine exists. Our measure uses a point-wise definition of diversity, which allows for a distinction of diverse and non-diverse areas. Moreover, we introduce the concept of further categorizing the diverse areas into healthy and unhealthy diversity areas. A diversity area is healthy for the ensemble performance, if there is enough redundancy to compensate for the errors. Then, the performance of the ense mble can be based on two parameters, the non-diversity area, i.e., the size of all regions where the classifiers of the ensemble agree, and the healthy diversity area, i.e., the size of the regions where the diversity is healthy. Furthermore, our point-wise diversity measure allows for an intuitive visualization of the ensemble diversity for visual ensemble performance comparison in the context of image segmentation. (More)
