Committee machine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A committee machine is a type of neural network using a divide and conquer strategy in which the responses of multiple neural networks (experts) are combined into a single response. The combined response of the committee machine is supposed to be superior to those of its constituent experts. Compare with Ensembles of classifiers.
