  • Method for improving classification results of a classifier
    Patent number: 10037480
    Abstract: A method for improving classification results of a classifier including receiving classification results for a plurality of elements that have been classified by a classifier as one of a plurality of classes, constructing a graph having a plurality of nodes, each node corresponding to one of the elements, and a plurality of labels, each label corresponding to one of the classes, adding edges between nodes corresponding to related elements, adding edges between each node and each label, and using a graph cut algorithm to cut edges to a node and partition the graph into classes, the graph cut algorithm using as input the classification results for the element corresponding to that node and related elements.
