Josef Kittler FREng is a British scientist and Distinguished Professor at University of Surrey, specializing in pattern recognition and machine intelligence.
Biography
Josef Kittler received his B.A. in Electrical Engineering (1971), Ph.D. in Pattern Recognition (1974), and ScD (1992), all from University of Cambridge. He joined Surrey University in 1986 and became Distinguished Professor in 2004.
He founded Centre for Vision, Speech and Signal Processing (CVSSP) in 1986 at University of Surrey [1] and served as President of the International Association for Pattern Recognition during 1994-1996. He is Series Editor of Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science.
Academic works
On combining classifiers
They proposed the algebraic combination methods under the probabilistic framework [2][3] used in ensembles of classifiers. In detail, denote 
the probability of instance 
belonging to class 
output from the learner 
, then the median rule generates the combined output according to 
, where the median operator is over base classifier 
.[4]
