We propose a family of novel cost-sensitive boosting methods for multi-class classification by applying the theory of gradient boosting to p-norm based cost functionals. We establ...
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...
Multiple data sources containing different types of features may be available for a given task. For instance, users’ profiles can be used to build recommendation systems. In a...
Boosting has been widely applied in computer vision, especially after Viola and Jones's seminal work [23]. The marriage of rectangular features and integral-imageenabled fast...
