Abstract

Classifiers in today's data-driven domain face myriad challenges: overfitting, computational overheads, diminished accuracy, imbalanced datasets, and the opaque "black box" issue. Conventional classifiers struggle with managing noisy and missing features. This study introduces classification methods leveraging hypercuboid learning and outranking measures.
Our framework autonomously discerns hypercuboid features from the training set, eliminating the need for prior domain expertise. These hypercuboids capture essential dataset patterns, while outranking measures mitigate noise and uncertainty. Empirical evaluations across diverse datasets from the UCI repository compare the proposed classifiers with established models like k-NN, SVM, Random Forest, Neural Networks, and Naive Bayes. Results demonstrate our classifiers' robustness against imbalanced data and extraneous features, achieving comparable or superior performance to benchmarks. Moreover, our models offer interpretability without sacrificing predictive accuracy.
