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...

Boosting Multi-Task Weak Learners with Applications to Textual and Social Data
Abstract--Learning multiple related tasks from data simultaneously can improve predictive performance relative to learning these tasks independently. In this paper we propose a nov...

Geometric Bounds for Generalization in Boosting
We consider geometric conditions on a labeled data set which guarantee that boosting algorithms work well when linear classifiers are used as weak learners. We start by providing ...

Adaptive Boosting with Leader based Learners for Classification of Large Handwritten Data
Boosting is a general method for improving the accuracy of a learning algorithm. AdaBoost, short form for Adaptive Boosting method, consists of repeated use of a weak or a base le...

Boosting with Temporal Consistent Learners: An Application to Human Activity Recognition
We present a novel boosting algorithm where temporal consistency is addressed in a short-term way. Although temporal correlation of observed data may be an important cue for classi...
