Boosting Lazy Decision Trees
This paper explores the problem of how to construct lazy decision tree ensembles. We present and empirically evaluate a relevancebased boosting-style algorithm that builds a lazy ...

The Alternating Decision Tree Learning Algorithm
The applicationofboosting procedures to decision tree algorithmshas been shown to produce very accurate classi ers. These classiers are in the form of a majority vote over a numbe...

Agnostic Boosting
We prove strong noise-tolerance properties of a potential-based boosting algorithm, similar to MadaBoost (Domingo and Watanabe, 2000) and SmoothBoost (Servedio, 2003). Our analysi...

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...

Location disambiguation in local searches using gradient boosted decision trees
Local search is a specialization of the web search that allows users to submit geographically constrained queries. However, one of the challenges for local search engines is to un...
