Abstract
In this paper, a multi-expert classification system (MECS), composed of two main parts performing the so-called multi-stage classification (MSC) and multi-expert classification (MEC), is proposed. The former (MSC) produces either correct decisions or the ”I do not know” (IDNK) answers, so there are not misclassifications. The latter (MEC) is a parallel system that includes different classifiers, for the objects not classified by the MSC system (resulting in the IDNK answers). A medical diagnosis example illustrates the perception-based approach employed in the MSC system, and the need for application of the MEC system.
