In this paper we examine ensemble methods for regression that leverage or "boost" base regressors by iteratively calling them on modified samples. The most successful lev...
This paper presents a strategy to improve the AdaBoost algorithm with a quadratic combination of base classifiers. We observe that learning this combination is necessary to get be...
In this paper we present a boosting approach to multiple instance learning. As weak hypotheses we use balls (with respect to various metrics) centered at instances of positive bags...
We describe a novel family of PAC model algorithms for learning linear threshold functions. The new algorithms work by boosting a simple weak learner and exhibit complexity bounds...
Margin maximizing properties play an important role in the analysis of classi£cation models, such as boosting and support vector machines. Margin maximization is theoretically in...
