A Real Generalization of Discrete AdaBoost
Scaling discrete AdaBoost to handle real-valued weak hypotheses has often been done under the auspices of convex optimization, but little is generally known from the original boost...

Distribution-Specific Agnostic Boosting
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...

Learning from a Population of Hypotheses
We introduce a new formal model in which a learning algorithm must combine a collection of potentially poor but statistically independent hypothesis functions in order to approxima...
