Fusion Methods for Unsupervised Learning Ensembles

The application of a “committee of experts” or ensemble learning to artificial neural networksthat apply unsupervised learning techniques is widely considered to enhance the effectivenessof such networks greatly.This book examines the potential of the ensemble meta-algorithm by describing and testing atechnique based on the combination of ensembles and statistical PCA that is able to determinethe presence of outliers in high-dimensional data sets and to minimize outlier effects in the final resu
