A new geometrical approach for solving the supervised pattern recognition problem

Résumé fourni par la source

This paper explores the supervised pattern recognition problem based on feature partitioning. This formulation leads to a new problem in computational geometry. The supervised pattern recognition problem is formulated as an heuristic good clique cover problem satisfying the k-nearest neighbors rule. First it is applied a heuristic algorithm for partitioning a graph into a minimal number of cliques. Next cliques are merged using the k-nearest neighbors rule. An important advantage of this approach is the decomposition of a problem involving l classes into l optimization problems involving a single class. The computational complexity of the method, computational procedures, and classification rules are discussed. A geometrical interpretation of the solution is also given. Using the proposed approach, the geometrical structure of the training set is utilized in the best possible way.
