Boosting
An accessible introduction and essential reference for an approach to machine learning that creates highly accurate prediction rules by combining many weak and inaccurate ones. Boosting is an approach to machine learning based on the idea of creating a highly accurate predictor by combining many weak and inaccurate “rules of thumb.” A remarkably rich theory has evolved around boosting, with connections to a range of topics, including statistics, game theory, convex optimization, and information geometry. Boosting algorithms have also enjoyed practical success in such fields as biology, vision, and speech processing. At various times in its history, boosting has been perceived as mysterio...
Boosting
Written by the developers of the first practical boosting algorithm, AdaBoost, this reference covers the background, theory, and advances in the formula. The first part of the book provides a general background of the subject. It is followed by an outline of the theory of boosting and the extensions to the AdaBoost algorithm that have been made since its inception. Chapters cover the mathematical study of machine learning, analysis of AdaBoost’s training error, the generalization error, and game theory. The authors also discuss specific applications, such as bioinformatics and computer vision, and provide examples to explain topics and ensure understanding.
Nonlinear Estimation and Classification
Researchers in many disciplines face the formidable task of analyzing massive amounts of high-dimensional and highly-structured data. This is due in part to recent advances in data collection and computing technologies. As a result, fundamental statistical research is being undertaken in a variety of different fields. Driven by the complexity of these new problems, and fueled by the explosion of available computer power, highly adaptive, non-linear procedures are now essential components of modern "data analysis," a term that we liberally interpret to include speech and pattern recognition, classification, data compression and signal processing. The development of new, flexible methods combines advances from many sources, including approximation theory, numerical analysis, machine learning, signal processing and statistics. The proposed workshop intends to bring together eminent experts from these fields in order to exchange ideas and forge directions for the future.
Computational Learning Theory
This volume presents the proceedings of the Second European Conference on Computational Learning Theory (EuroCOLT '95), held in Barcelona, Spain in March 1995.
