1. A computer implemented adaptive classification method comprising:

  • receiving information from one or more first data sources;

    producing at least one first classification result using a processor programmed with one or more first classifiers and the information received from the one or more first data sources;

    producing a first decision using the processor programmed with the at least one first classification result and a first set of one or more respective weights respectively associated with the one or more first classifiers;

    selecting at least one second classifier if the first decision has a first prescribed value;

    receiving information from one or more second data sources;

    producing at least one second classification result using the processor programmed with one or more first classifiers and the at least one second classifier and the information received from the one or more first data sources and the information received from the at least one second data source;

    producing a second decision using the processor programmed with the at least one second classification result and a second set of one or more respective weights respectively associated with the one or more first classifiers and with the at least one second classifier; and

    outputting an indication of the second decision from the processor.
