Abstract

MCS (Minimal Consistent Set) is one of the classical algorithms for minimal consistent subset selection problem. However, when noisy samples are present classification accuracy can suffer. In addition, noise affect the size of minimal consistent set. Therefore, removing noise is an important issue before sample selection. In this paper, an improvement approach based on MCS to select the representative samples is proposed. Compared with other algorithms which remove the noise by Wilson Editing in advance for the representative samples selection, this algorithm performs the processes of noise removing and samples selection simultaneously. According to this method, most noise can be deleted and the most representative samples can be identified and retained. The experiments show that the proposed method can greatly remove the redundant samples and noise as well as increase the accuracy of solutions when it is used for classification tasks.
