Abstract

The present work introduces a simple scheme for classifying sequential data using blind ensembles of classifiers. Blind refers to the combiner who has no knowledge of ground-truth labels to learn the optimal classifier combination. The sequence of data along with annotator responses are modeled using a hidden Markov model (HMM). The HMM parameters are learned using a decoupling and moment-matching approach. Preliminary tests on synthetic data showcase the potential of the proposed approach.
