LOCATION SENSITIVE ENSEMBLE CLASSIFIER

Abstract:

Computer-implemented systems and methods for generating and using a location sensitive ensemble classifier for classifying content includes dividing a validation data set into regions. Each region encompasses data points of the validation data set that fall within the region. A regional ensemble classifier is generated for each region based on the data points that fall within the region. A content item is then classified in at least one of a plurality of classes using the regional ensemble classifier for the region to which the content item belongs.
