Boosting is a popular way to derive powerful learners from simpler hypothesis classes. Following previous work (Mason et al., 1999; Friedman, 2000) on general boosting frameworks,...
In this paper, we propose a cascaded version of the online boosting algorithm to speed-up the execution time and guarantee real-time performance even when employing a large number ...

—Semi-supervised learning concerns the problem of learning in the presence of labeled and unlabeled data. Several boosting algorithms have been extended to semi-supervised learni...
We introduce a novel bilinear boosting algorithm, which extends the multi-class boosting framework of JointBoost to optimize a bilinear objective function. This allows style param...
Abstract--Boosting covariance data on Riemannian manifolds has proven to be a convenient strategy in a pedestrian detection context. In this paper we show that the detection perfor...

Boosting is a general method for improving the accuracy of learning algorithms. We use boosting to construct improved privacy-preserving synopses of an input database. These are da...
Abstract We present a new ranking algorithm that combines the strengths of two previous methods: boosted tree classification, and LambdaRank, which has been shown to be empiricall...
