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...

This is a survey of some theoretical results on boosting obtained from an analogous treatment of some regression and classi cation boosting algorithms. Some related papers include...
We consider the problem of boosting the accuracy of weak learning algorithms in the agnostic learning framework of Haussler (1992) and Kearns et al. (1992). Known algorithms for t...
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...
A cost-sensitive extension of boosting, denoted as asymmetric boosting, is presented. Unlike previous proposals, the new algorithm is derived from sound decision-theoretic princip...
