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 ...

Learning to re-rank: query-dependent image re-ranking using click data
Our objective is to improve the performance of keyword based image search engines by re-ranking their baseline results. To this end, we address three limitations of existing searc...

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 ...
