Description
Boosting is a general method to improve the accuracy of any givenlearning algorithm. I will introduce a new method of boosting - AdaBoost- and discuss its advantages compared to other traditional methods of boosting like "boost-by-majority" algorithm. I will also try to give an intuitive explanation as to why boosting does not suffer from overfitting.
