Agenda
• Boosting• Adaboost Introduction• Algorithm
Overview
• Introduced in 1990s• originally designed for classification problems• a procedure that combines the outputs of
many “weak” classifiers to produce a powerful “committee”
Boosting Approach
• select small subset of examples• derive rough rule of thumb• examine 2nd set of examples• derive 2nd rule of thumb• repeat T times• boosting = general method of converting rough
rules of thumb into highly accurate prediction rule
Boosting - Definition
• A machine learning algorithm• Perform supervised learning• Increments improvement of learned function• Forces the weak learner to generate new
hypotheses that make less mistakes on “harder” parts.
Adaboost Introduction
• AdaBoost is the short for Adaptive Boost, a machine learning meta-algorithm.
• AdaBoost contain several layers of weak learners each layer focus on the misclassified of its previous learner.
• These weak learners are called base classifiers and they need to be simple classifiers that have error rate is minimum
Introduction
• Weak Learner
Algorithm• Step 1: Initialization weight for
elements
• Step 2: • Find the weak learner with the minimum
error rate and calculate the weight of classifier

Ym(xn) = 1 , -1
Algorithm• Step 2: Update the weight to elements
