Ensemble, Stacking, and Gated Mixture-of-Detectors

Recover complementary detections with the simplest reproducible fusion that materially improves the best single model.

Meaningful reproducible gain?
NO

Stop and keep the simpler system.

YES

Consider class-specific weighting.

Advanced learned fusionOOF stacking or learned gating only when complementarity and simple-fusion gain justify it.
