Abstract

Boosting is a general method for improving the accuracy of any given learning algorithm. Focusing primarily on the AdaBoost algorithm, we briefly survey theoretical work on boosting including analyses of AdaBoost’s training error and generalization error, connections between boosting and game theory, methods of estimating probabilities using boosting, and extensions of AdaBoost for multiclass classification problems. We also briefly mention some empirical work.
