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...

Multi-Class Learning by Smoothed Boosting
AdaBoost.OC has been shown to be an effective method in boosting “weak” binary classifiers for multi-class learning. It employs the Error-Correcting Output Code (ECOC) method ...

Boosting in the Limit: Maximizing the Margin of Learned Ensembles
The "minimum margin" of an ensemble classifier on a given training set is, roughly speaking, the smallest vote it gives to any correct training label. Recent work has sh...

Asymmetric boosting
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...

Boosting strategy for classification
This paper introduces a strategy for training ensemble classifiers by analysing boosting within margin theory. We present a bound on the generalisation error of ensembled classifi...
