The Uschificator is a method for scaling membership values of an argmax-classifier. A classifier is called argmax-classifier, if for ever class c ∈ C it computes a membership value m(x,c) which represents the classifiers certainty of the example x belonging to class c. The final classification rule is given by
cl(x) = arg max m(x,c).
The Uschificator scales the membership values such that they can be interpreted as the class probability
mscaled(x,c) ≈ P(c|x)
Uschificator is a JAVA implementation of the scaling algorithm that was developed by Uschi Garczarek (hence the name) and is described in [Garczarek/2002a].
