Ada Boost: Adaptive Boosting Explanation
Adaptive Boosting (AdaBoost) is a popular machine learning algorithm that falls
under the category of ensemble methods. It is a powerful technique that can be
used to improve the performance of other machine learning algorithms,
especially weak models.
Key Concepts
Weak Learner: AdaBoost works by combining the predictions of
multiple weak learners to create a strong model. A weak learner is a model
that performs only slightly better than random guessing.
Re-weighting: After each round of training, AdaBoost re-weights the
training instances. It increases the weight of instances that were misclassified
by the previous weak learner and decreases the weight of instances that
were correctly classified. This forces the next weak learner to focus more on
the difficult instances.
Sequential Training: AdaBoost trains the weak learners sequentially,
with each weak learner trying to correct the mistakes of the previous one.
Iterative Improvement: The final prediction of AdaBoost is a weighted
sum of the predictions of all the weak learners. The weights are calculated
using the errors made by each weak learner, so that the weak learners that
perform better are given more importance.
Strengths and Limitations
Strengths:
AdaBoost is robust to noisy data and outliers, as it can handle
mislabeled instances better than other algorithms.
AdaBoost is relatively easy to implement and understand.
AdaBoost can improve the performance of any weak learner, including
decision trees, logistic regression, and neural networks.
Limitations:
