A decision-theoretic generalization of on-line learning and an application to boosting
k. The model we study can be interpreted as a broad, abstract extension of the well-studied on-line prediction model to a general decision-theoretic setting. We show that the multi...

A General Boosting Method and its Application to Learning Ranking Functions for Web Search
We present a general boosting method extending functional gradient boosting to optimize complex loss functions that are encountered in many machine learning problems. Our approach...

Multi-task learning for boosting with application to web search ranking
In this paper we propose a novel algorithm for multi-task learning with boosted decision trees. We learn several different learning tasks with a joint model, explicitly addressing...

On the Existence of Linear Weak Learners and Applications to Boosting
We consider the existence of a linear weak learner for boosting algorithms. A weak learner for binary classification problems is required to achieve a weighted empirical error on t...
