Boosting algorithm is understood as the gradient descent algorithm of a loss function. It is often pointed out that the typical boosting algorithm, Adaboost, is seriously affected ...
The recently proposed ImageNet dataset consists of several million images, each annotated with a single object category. However, these annotations may be imperfect, in the sense t...
Several authors have suggested viewing boosting as a gradient descent search for a good fit in function space. At each iteration observations are re-weighted using the gradient of...
The design of robust classifiers, which can contend with the noisy and outlier ridden datasets typical of computer vision, is studied. It is argued that such robustness requires l...
This paper presents a stagewise least square (SLS) loss function for classification. It uses a least square form within each stage to approximate a bounded monotonic nonconvex los...
