Abstract(in English) A framework of system combination using boosting in a feature transformation is proposed. In general, the combination of multiple classifiers improves the classification performance of each classifier. However, there are two important issues in such a system combination. First, the classification performance is not necessarily improved if the classifiers are not complementary. Second, an inappropriate combination makes the performance worse even if the complementary classifiers can be obtained. In this paper, we attempt to solve how to generate and how to combine the complementary classifiers. Aiming at generating the complementary classifiers, the boosting was applied in HLDA based feature transformation. At the combination stage, a pattern recognition using support vector machine was performed, in which a pair of the likelihoods emitted by the classifiers of the first stage was used as a feature parameter. Experimental results showed the effectiveness of proposed method: it reduced the errors by 74% compared to the case without any system combination.
