A new approach to image classification based on a deep multiclass AdaBoosting ensemble

Abstract

In recent years, deep learning methods have been developed in order to solve the problems. These methods were effective in solving complex problems. Convolution is one of the learning methods. This method is applied in classifying and processing of images as well. Hybrid methods are another multi-component machine learning method. These methods are categorized into independent and dependent types. Ada-Boosting algorithm is one of these methods. Today, the classification of images has many applications. So far, several algorithms have been presented for binary and multi-class classification. Most of the above-mentioned methods have a high dependence on the data. The present study intends to use a combination of deep learning methods and associated hybrid methods to classify the images. It is presumed that this method is able to reduce the error rate in images classification. The proposed algorithm consists of the Ada-Boosting hybrid method and bi-layer convolutional learning method. The proposed method was analyzed after it was implemented on a multi-class Mnist data set and displayed the result of the error rate reduction. The results of this study indicate that the error rate of the proposed method is less than Ada-Boosting and convolution methods. Also, the network has more stability compared to
the other methods.
