A Real Generalization of Discrete AdaBoost
Scaling discrete AdaBoost to handle real-valued weak hypotheses has often been done under the auspices of convex optimization, but little is generally known from the original boost...

Large-Margin Thresholded Ensembles for Ordinal Regression: Theory and Practice
Abstract. We propose a thresholded ensemble model for ordinal regression problems. The model consists of a weighted ensemble of confidence functions and an ordered vector of thres...

On the Margin Explanation of Boosting Algorithms
Much attention has been paid to the theoretical explanation of the empirical success of AdaBoost. The most influential work is the margin theory, which is essentially an upper bou...

Surrogate maximization/minimization algorithms for AdaBoost and the logistic regression model
Surrogate maximization (or minimization) (SM) algorithms are a family of algorithms that can be regarded as a generalization of expectation-maximization (EM) algorithms. There are...
