Abstract

We improve a high-accuracy maximum entropy classifier by combining an ensemble of classifiers with neural network voting. In our experiments we demonstrate significantly superior performance both over a single classifier as well as over the use of the traditional weighted-sum voting approach. Specifically, we apply this to a maximum entropy classifier on a large scale multi-class text categorization task: the online job directory Flipdog with over half a million jobs in 65 categories.
