Generalized fuzzy soft set based fusion strategy for activity classification in smart home

In recent years, a plethora of different studies for design of traditional ensemble classifiers has been proposed in order to improve final recognition accuracy. However, among the ensemble classifiers, combination methods are focused on building independent classifiers of the same or different algorithms using majority voting methods. In this paper, we present a new fusion scheme for ensemble classifiers based on a new concept called Generalized Fuzzy Soft Set (GFSS), which we apply in activity classification. Essentially, we apply a weighted aggregate operator to the output of each classifier in order to fuse the GFSS into a more reliable classifier. The proposed fusion method is based on a new ranking algorithm to classify activities. We show that the proposed method produces more accurate results than the best single classifier and its effectiveness is demonstrated by comparing it with single classifier in terms of activity recognition accuracy.
