Towards Approximation of Risk

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 5306))

Abstract

We discuss the notion of risk in generally understood classification support systems. We propose a method for approximating the loss function and introduce a technique for assessing the empirical risk from experimental data. We discuss the general methodology and possible directions of development in the area of constructing compound classification schemes.
