Abstract
Boosting (Freund & Schapire 1995) is one of the most important
recent developments in classification methodology. Boosting works by
sequentially applying a classification algorithm to reweighted versions
of the training data, and then taking a weighted majority vote of the sequence
of classifiers thus produced. For many classification algorithms,
this simple strategy results in dramatic improvements in performance.
We show that this seemingly mysterious phenomenon can be understood
in terms of...
