LFS-FRAME: Leakage-Free Stacked Ensemble for Multiclass Classification

other · 2026-07-27

A new machine learning framework, LFS-FRAME, combines Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KAN) and XGBoost for robust multiclass classification. The method addresses challenges like high inter-class similarity, class imbalance, and data distribution variability. It uses a strict out-of-fold stacking strategy to prevent data leakage and construct unbiased meta-features. The approach integrates functional learning from KAN and rule-based learning from XGBoost, aiming to overcome limitations of each method alone. The paper is available on arXiv with ID 2607.22081.

Key facts

  • LFS-FRAME is a leakage-free stacked ensemble framework.
  • It integrates KAN for functional learning and XGBoost for rule-based learning.
  • Uses strict out-of-fold stacking to prevent data leakage.
  • Addresses multiclass classification challenges: high inter-class similarity, class imbalance, data distribution variability.
  • KAN captures smooth functional relationships; XGBoost handles structured features.
  • Neural networks can overfit; rule-based classifiers limit smooth function capture.
