Opis

This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Multiple Classifier Systems, MCS 2002, held in Cagliari, Italy, in June 2002. The 29 revised full papers presented together with three invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the volume. The papers are organized in topical sections on bagging and boosting, ensemble learning and neural networks, design methodologies, combination strategies, analysis and performance evaluation, and applications.
