A Leakage-Free Stacked Ensemble Method for Multiclass Classification

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2607.22081v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multiclass classification is a fundamental problem across a wide range of domains. It is still challenging due to possession of high inter-class similarity, class imbalance datasets, and variability in data distributions. Rule-based classifiers such as XGBoost often achieve stronger performance on structured features, but they are limited in capturing smooth functional relationships among variables. Similarly, neural network models can represent complex nonlinear interactions but frequently suffer from overfitting and generalization issues. To address these limitations, we propose LFS-FRAME, a Leakage-Free Stacked ensemble framework that integrates functional learning using Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KAN) and rule-based learning via XGBoost
