  1. Boosting Rong Jin

  2. Bagging D Boostrap Sampling … D1 D2 Dk h1 h2 hk Inefficiency with Bagging • Inefficient boostrap sampling: • Every example has equal chance to be sampled • No distinction between “easy” examples and “difficult” examples • Inefficient model combination: • A constant weight for each classifier • No distinction between accurate classifiers and inaccurate classifiers

  3. Improve the Efficiency of Bagging • Better sampling strategy • Focus on the examples that are difficult to classify • Better combination strategy • Accurate model should be assigned larger weights

  7. How To Choose t in AdaBoost? • How to construct the best distribution Dt+1(i) • Dt+1(i) should be significantly different from Dt(i) • Dt+1(i) should create a situation that classifier ht performs poorly

  8. How To Choose t in AdaBoost?

  9. Optimization View for Choosing t • ht(x): x{1,-1}; a base (weak) classifier • HT(x): a linear combination of basic classifiers • Goal: minimize training error • Approximate error switha exponential function

  10. AdaBoost: Greedy Optimization Fix HT-1(x), and solve hT(x) and t

  11. Empirical Study of AdaBoost • AdaBoosting decision trees • Generate 50 decision trees by AdaBoost • Linearly combine decision trees using the weights of AdaBoost • In general: • AdaBoost= Bagging > C4.5 • AdaBoostusually needs less number of classifiers than Bagging

  12. Bia-Variance Tradeoff for AdaBoost • AdaBoost can reduce both variance and bias simultaneously variance bias single decision tree Bagging decision tree AdaBoosting decision trees
