—The success of transfer to improve learning on a target task is highly dependent on the selected source data. Instance-based transfer methods reuse data from the source tasks to...
AdaBoost.OC has been shown to be an effective method in boosting “weak” binary classifiers for multi-class learning. It employs the Error-Correcting Output Code (ECOC) method ...
This paper explores two classes of model adaptation methods for Web search ranking: Model Interpolation and error-driven learning approaches based on a boosting algorithm. The res...
