In this paper we propose a new distributed learning method called distributed network boosting (DNB) algorithm for distributed applications. The learned hypotheses are exchanged b...
In order to understand AdaBoost’s dynamics, especially its ability to maximize margins, we derive an associated simplified nonlinear iterated map and analyze its behavior in lo...

In this work we introduce a new distance estimation technique by boosting and we apply it to the K-Nearest Neighbor Classifier (KNN). Instead of applying AdaBoost to a typical cla...
We introduce a novel bilinear boosting algorithm, which extends the multi-class boosting framework of JointBoost to optimize a bilinear objective function. This allows style param...
RankBoost is a recently proposed algorithm for learning ranking functions. It is simple to implement and has strong justifications from computational learning theory. We describe...
