Improved Boosting Algorithms using Confidence-Rated Predictions
Abstract. We describe several improvements to Freund and Schapire's AdaBoost boosting algorithm, particularly in a setting in which hypotheses may assign confidences to each o...

Gabor Feature Selection for Face Recognition Using Improved AdaBoost Learning
Though AdaBoost has been widely used for feature selection and classifier learning, many of the selected features, or weak classifiers, are redundant. By incorporating mutual infor...

Geometric Bounds for Generalization in Boosting
We consider geometric conditions on a labeled data set which guarantee that boosting algorithms work well when linear classifiers are used as weak learners. We start by providing ...

On the Dynamics of Boosting
In order to understand AdaBoost’s dynamics, especially its ability to maximize margins, we derive an associated simplified nonlinear iterated map and analyze its behavior in lo...

BoostMotion: Boosting a Discriminative Similarity Function for Motion Estimation
Motion estimation for applications where appearance undergoes complex changes is challenging due to lack of an appropriate similarity function. In this paper, we propose to learn ...
