Probabilistic Outputs for Multiclass Support Vector Machine

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Support Vector Machines (SVM) have been successfully applied in many classification tasks with great generalization performance. However, the output function of SVMs gives an uncalibrated value, impairing the post-processing and making the combination of several classifiers inefficient, as in the case of multiclass SVMs. Some methods of transforming the binary SVM output in a calibrated posterior probability have been proposed, notably the sigmoid fitting method by Platt. This paper proposes an extension of the Platt's model for multiclass SVMs, by combining the optimization procedures of all sigmoid functions. Experimental results are presented and confirm the efficiency of the proposed method.
