Abstract  

In this paper, a neural network (NN)-based multi-agent classifier system (MACS) utilising the trust-negotiation-communication
(TNC) reasoning model is proposed. A novel trust measurement method, based on the combination of Bayesian belief functions,
is incorporated into the TNC model. The Fuzzy Min-Max (FMM) NN is used as learning agents in the MACS, and useful modifications
of FMM are proposed so that it can be adopted for trust measurement. Besides, an auctioning procedure, based on the sealed
bid method, is applied for the negotiation phase of the TNC model. Two benchmark data sets are used to evaluate the effectiveness
of the proposed MACS. The results obtained compare favourably with those from a number of machine learning methods. The applicability
of the proposed MACS to two industrial sensor data fusion and classification tasks is also demonstrated, with the implications
analysed and discussed.

Classifier domains of competence: The landscape contest is a research competition aimed at finding out the relation between data complexity and the performance of learners. Comparing your techniques to those of other participants may contribute to enrich our understanding of the behavior of machine learning and open further research lines. Contest participants are allowed to use any type of technique. However, we highly encourage and appreciate the use of novel algorithms.

The contest will take place on August 22, during the 20th International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR 2010) at Istanbul, Turkey.

We are planning to have a day workshop during the ICPR 2010, so that participants will be able to present and discuss their results.

We encourage everyone to participate and share with us your work! For further details about dates and submission, please visit The landscape contest webpage.
