Lo and behold! GOOGLE SCHOLAR lost my book! This one: Combining Pattern Classifiers: Methods and Algorithms, Wiley 2004 as well as the second edition in 2014. Along with about 6,000 citations. Arrrrgggh! My precious baby, which I spent a whole career to write. Not happy, not happy. According to all the Google wisdom online, there is no way to restore the list. Eh, well...

Research

---

My research has always gravitated towards pattern recognition and classification. I have dabbled in almost all aspects of the classical paradigm: feature selection, classification, clustering, data editing, etc. I have a soft spot for multiple classifier systems (classifier ensembles), specifically ensemble diversity.
