Abstract

Most classification problems assume that there are sufficient training sets to induce the prediction knowledge. Few studies are focused on the label prediction according to the small knowledge. Hence, a classification algorithm in which the prediction knowledge is induced by only few training instances at the initial stage and is incrementally expanded by following verified instances is presented. We have shown how to integrate kNN and LARM methods to design a multi-strategy classification algorithm. In the experiments on edoc collection, we show that the proposed method improves 4% in accuracy of low-confidence results of kNN prediction and 8% in accuracy of results of the dominant class bias of LARM prediction. We also show experimentally that the proposed method obtains enhanced classification accuracy and achieves acceptable performance efficiency.
