Boosting Bayesian MAP Classification
In this paper we redefine and generalize the classic k-nearest neighbors (k-NN) voting rule in a Bayesian maximum-a-posteriori (MAP) framework. Therefore, annotated examples are u...

Monte Carlo Theory as an Explanation of Bagging and Boosting
In this paper we propose the framework of Monte Carlo algorithms as a useful one to analyze ensemble learning. In particular, this framework allows one to guess when bagging will ...

Robust boosting and its relation to bagging
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 Effect of Distance Metrics on Boosting with Dynamic Weighting Schemes
—This paper presents some preliminary experimental results on RegionBoost, which is a typical example of a class of Boosting algorithms based on dynamic weighting schemes. It is ...
