  • Configuring individual classifiers with multiple operating points for cascaded classifier topologies under resource constraints
    Patent number: 8433669
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for configuring a classifier structure includes receiving a classifier structure for identifying a feature of input data, adding a plurality of operating points to a parent binary classifier of the classifier structure, and setting the operating points to minimize a total cost based on resources available to the classifier structure. Each operating point controls how data is classified by the parent binary classifier for distribution to the child binary classifiers.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: April 30, 2013
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
