Several classification problems involve more than two classes. These problems are known as multiclass classification problems. One of the approaches to deal with multiclass problems is their decomposition into a set of binary problems. Recent work shows important advantages related with this approach. Several strategies have been proposed for this decomposition. The strategies most frequently used are All-vs-All, One-vs-All and Error Correction Output Codes (ECOC). ECOCs are based on binary words (codewords) and have been adapted to deal with multiclass problems. For such, they must comply with a number of specific constraints. Different dimensions may be adopted for the codewords for each number of classes in the problem. These dimensions grow exponentially with the number of classes present in a dataset. Two methods to choose the dimension of a ECOC, which assure a good trade-off between redundancy and error correction capacity, are proposed in this paper. The proposed methods are evaluated in a set of benchmark classification problems. Experimental results show that they are competitive with other multiclass decomposition methods.

Kernel extreme learning machine (KELM) is a novel feedforward neural network, which is widely used in classification problems. To some extent, it solves the existing problems of the invalid nodes and the large computational complexity in ELM. However, the traditional KELM classifier usually has a low test accuracy when it faces multiclass classification problems. In order to solve the above problem, a new classifier, Mexican Hat wavelet KELM classifier, is proposed in this paper. The proposed classifier successfully improves the training accuracy and reduces the training time in the multiclass classification problems. Moreover, the validity of the Mexican Hat wavelet as a kernel function of ELM is rigorously proved. Experimental results on different data sets show that the performance of the proposed classifier is significantly superior to the compared classifiers.
