Totally corrective boosting algorithms that maximize the margin
We consider boosting algorithms that maintain a distribution over a set of examples. At each iteration a weak hypothesis is received and the distribution is updated. We motivate t...

Boosting in the Limit: Maximizing the Margin of Learned Ensembles
The "minimum margin" of an ensemble classifier on a given training set is, roughly speaking, the smallest vote it gives to any correct training label. Recent work has sh...

Boosting Based on a Smooth Margin
Abstract. We study two boosting algorithms, Coordinate Ascent Boosting and Approximate Coordinate Ascent Boosting, which are explicitly designed to produce maximum margins. To deri...

On the generalization of soft margin algorithms
Generalization bounds depending on the margin of a classifier are a relatively recent development. They provide an explanation of the performance of state-of-the-art learning syste...

Boosting strategy for classification
This paper introduces a strategy for training ensemble classifiers by analysing boosting within margin theory. We present a bound on the generalisation error of ensembled classifi...
