模式识别7非线性分类器第二讲汇编.ppt

* The origins: Is it possible a weak learning algorithm (one that performs slightly better than a random guessing) to be boosted into a strong algorithm? (Villiant 1984). The procedure to achieve it: Adopt a weak classifier known as the base classifier. Employing the base classifier, design a series of classifiers, in a hierarchical fashion, each time employing a different weighting of the training samples. Emphasis in the weighting is given on the hardest samples, i.e., the ones that keep “failing”. Combine the hierarchically designed classifiers by a weighted average procedure. The Boost
