Abstract

The present invention uses dynamic grouping to divide up training samples to train different classification nodes. At the beginning of the training, all samples are in the same group. A clustering process is applied in the feature space of the selected feature vectors with cluster indexes accumulated. The average of all the accumulated cluster indexes is used as the threshold for splitting the samples into two groups. When the splitting criterion is met, samples are split into two groups based on their similarity in the feature space.
