利用平滑间隔函数分析提升算法AI 解读

We introduce a useful tool for analyzing boosting algorithms called the “smooth margin function,” a differentiable approximation of the usual margin for boosting algorithms. We present two boosting algorithms based on this smooth margin, “coordinate ascent boosting” and “approximate coordinate ascent boosting,” which are similar to Freund and Schapire’s AdaBoost algorithm and Breiman’s arc-gv algorithm. We give convergence rates to the maximum margin solution for both of our…
