Classification problems involving multiple classes can be addressed in different ways. One of the most popular techniques consists in dividing the original data set into two-class subsets, learning a different binary model for each new subset. These techniques are known as binarization strategies. In this work, we are interested in ensemble methods by binarization techniques; in particular, we focus on the well-known one-vs-one and one-vs-all decomposition strategies, paying special attention to the final step of the ensembles, the combination of the outputs of the binary classifiers. Our aim is to develop an empirical analysis of different aggregations to combine these outputs. To do so, we develop a double study: first, we use different base classifiers in order to observe the suitability and potential of each combination within each classifier. Then, we compare the performance of these ensemble techniques with the …
