Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) We propose an ensemble-based minimum classification error (MCE) training method to combine multiple weak classifiers in a manner consistent with the ultimate standard, Bayes error estimation. First, we discuss boosting, a key methodology of ensemble training, from the viewpoints of mathematical optimality for loss minimization and its relationship to the Bayes error estimation. We also review the basic concept of MCE training,
and elucidate the relationship between boosting and MCE by analyzing their loss minimization procedures. We then propose an ensemble-based training method named Ensemble-based MCE, which in principle leads to the Bayes error condition for a general multi-class task.
