Abstract
Machine Learning (ML) techniques have been applied to various problems. However, applying ML to ML models is an unexplored direction. For this purpose, this paper considers a meta-classification of one-class classification (OCC) models, because all ML models could be approximated as OCC models. The proposal represents OCC models as normality rankings and classifies them using nearest-neighbor and ranking-correlation metrics. The experiment classifies OCC models, where classes correspond to training datasets, algorithms, and hyperparameters. The proposal achieves high accuracy when class labels are datasets. Moreover, it can classify algorithms when the training datasets contain the same class. In addition, the discussion highlights that the classification of OCC models is essentially the classification of datasets that treats multiple samples as a single input. The experiment demonstrates the classification of datasets using sleeping records. The proposed method can provide a unified solution for classifying OCC models, datasets, and rankings.

One-class classification (OCC) is a classification problem in which the training data contains only one class. The one-class support vector machine (OCSVM) is one of the most competitive OCC algorithms. However, OCSVM has scalability issues with large-scale datasets. This paper proposes the acceleration strategy of OCSVM. The idea is to decompose the dataset into samples and train OCSVM models for single data points. Subsequently, ensemble learning is applied to combine all models to compute the OCSVM model for the dataset. In addition, further acceleration is achieved through a data-reduction strategy with an OCSVM model trained on the average of the training samples. The experiment compared the proposal and traditional OCSVM using the Python package. The proposed strategy is faster than traditional OCSVM, while achieving similar classification results. Moreover, the proposed strategy can create one-to-one correspondence between samples and models. Source code is uploaded at https://github.com/ToshiHayashi/ODSVM
Selecting an appropriate classification algorithm for a given data set remains a challenging problem in data mining and machine learning. Existing algorithm recommendation models are typically trained with individual learners and rely on only one type of meta-feature, which may limit their ability to capture the diverse characteristics of classification problems. This paper proposes a multi-view ensemble meta-learning framework for classification algorithm recommendation. The framework constructs base recommendation models from different combinations of heterogeneous meta-feature groups and combines them through an accuracy- and diversity-aware ensemble strategy. The main focus of this work is empirical: we evaluate the proposed method on 1,090 benchmark classification problems derived from 84 public data sets, using 13 widely used candidate classification algorithms and five types of meta-features. The experimental results show that the proposed ensemble recommendation method consistently improves ranking loss, average precision, and top-ranked recommendation precision over individual recommendation models. These results suggest that combining complementary meta-feature views is an effective strategy for robust classification algorithm recommendation.
In order to automate AI research we introduce a full, end-to-end framework, OMEGA: Optimizing Machine learning by Evaluating Generated Algorithms, that starts at idea generation and ends with executable code. Our system combines structured meta-prompt engineering with executable code generation to create new ML classifiers. The OMEGA framework has been utilized to generate several novel algorithms that outperform scikit-learn baselines across a robust selection of 20 benchmark datasets (infinity-bench). You can access models discussed in this paper and more in the python package: pip install omega-models.
