Abstract(in English) The smoothness of the smooth classification error count loss used in the Minimum Classification Error (MCE) training has an effect of increasing training robustness to unseen samples. Therefore, an appropriate determination of the smoothness is obviously needed. Recently, to meet this necessity, a method using the Parzen-estimation-based MCE formalization was proposed for automatically setting the smoothness, and its effectiveness was demonstrated. However, this method sets the smoothness in the class-by-class mode, and it has a potential risk of causing over-fitting to training samples. In this paper, we propose a new method for automatically finding an appropriate value of the smoothness that is set to all of the classes, and demonstrate its usefulness. From evaluation experiments, we show that the proposed method works more stably and more effectively under various classifier conditions than its counterpart, preceding automatic determination method.
