- Train Individual Models:
- Train each of your five deep learning models (ResNet, DarkNet, Xception, AlexNet, SqueezeNet) on your dataset.
- Save the trained models and their predictions.
- Obtain the prediction results (class labels) from each model for the same test set.
- Ensure the predictions are in a consistent format (e.g., categorical labels).
- Combine the predictions from the five models into a matrix.
- For each test sample, determine the final class label by taking the mode (most frequent label) of the predictions from the five models.
- Compare the final predictions from the ensemble with the true labels of the test set.
- Calculate and report the accuracy of the ensemble model.
- Use diverse architectures and training data to maximize ensemble benefits.
- Assign higher weights to more accurate models if some outperform others.
- Use cross-validation to ensure robustness and generalization.
- Fine-tune individual models for the best performance before ensembling.
