ABC-MART: Recent Improvements in Boosting, Trees and Classification Algorithms

Опубликовано 7 сентября 2016, 17:03

Jerry Friedman's MART algorithm has had considerable influence in search applications and other classification tasks. We introduce a new category of classification algorithms: Adaptive Base Class Boost (ABC-Boost). The talk will present a particular implementation of ABC-Boost called ABC-MART, a combination of ABC-Boost with MART. Extensive experiments demonstrate surprising improvements. From a coding perspective, the change is really easy to implement (involving just a few lines of code).
