Robust combining methods in committee neural networks

Combining a set of suitable experts can improve the generalization performance of the group when compared to single experts alone. The classical problem in this area is to answer the question about how to combine the ensemble members or the individuals. Different methods for combining the outputs of...

Different methods for combining the outputs of the experts in a committee machine (ensemble) are reported in the literature.
