CLASSIFICATION USING A CASCADE APPROACH
First Claim
1. A method for classification of data using a multi-stage stage classifier comprising:
- training a first stage classifier of the multi-stage classifier with an entire set of training dataclassifying each of instance of training data in the set of training by employing the first stage classifier;
adding each instance of the training data that has been classified by the first stage classifier to have a classification value within a predefined threshold range into a set of second stage training data; and
training a second stage classifier of the multi-stage classifier with the entire set of second stage training data.storing the multi-stage classifier on a computer readable storage medium.

Abstract
A system and method that facilitates and effectuates optimizing a classifier for greater performance in a specific region of classification that is of interest, such as a low false positive rate or a low false negative rate. A two-stage classification model can be trained and employed, where the first stage classification is optimized over the entire classification region and the second stage classifier is optimized for the specific region of interest. During training the entire set of training data is employed by a first stage classifier. Only data that is classified by the first stage classifier or by cross validation to fall within a region of interest is used to train the second stage classifier. During classification, data that is classified within the region of interest by the first classification is given the first stage classifier'"'"'s classification value, otherwise the classification value for the instance of data from the second stage classifier is used.

12. A system for classification of classification of data, comprising:
-
a set of training data containing a plurality of instances of training data; a multi-stage classifier component that has at least a first stage classifier and second stage classifier, wherein cross validation of the training data with respect to a predefined threshold is employed by the multi-stage classifier component to produce a set of second stage training data. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A system for classification of classification of data, comprising:
-
one or more instances of data; a multi-stage classifier component that has at least a first stage classifier and a second stage classifier, wherein the multi-stage classifier classifies at least one of the one or more instances of data by outputting the classification value from the first stage classifier'"'"'s classification of the at least one instance of data if the classification value is within a threshold range, otherwise the multi-stage classifier component outputs the classification value from the second stage classifiers classification of the at least one instance of data. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
