Avoiding Boosting Overfitting by Removing Confusing Samples
Boosting methods are known to exhibit noticeable overfitting on some datasets, while being immune to overfitting on other ones. In this paper we show that standard boosting algorit...

On the generalization of soft margin algorithms
Generalization bounds depending on the margin of a classifier are a relatively recent development. They provide an explanation of the performance of state-of-the-art learning syste...

On the Existence of Linear Weak Learners and Applications to Boosting
We consider the existence of a linear weak learner for boosting algorithms. A weak learner for binary classification problems is required to achieve a weighted empirical error on t...

Improving Generalization by Data Categorization
In most of the learning algorithms, examples in the training set are treated equally. Some examples, however, carry more reliable or critical information about the target than the ...

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...
