Undirected cyclic graph based multiclass pair-wise classifier: Classifier number reduction maintaining accuracy

Supervised Classification approaches try to classify correctly the new unlabelled examples based on a set of well-labelled samples. Nevertheless, some classification methods were formulated for binary classification problems and has difficulties for multi-class problems. Binarization strategies deco...
