Vote-boosting ensembles

作者:

Highlights:

• A boosting algorithm with a new emphasis function is proposed.

• The instance weights are determined in terms of the degree of agreement or disagreement among the individual ensemble predictions.

• The optimal type of emphasis (either on instances for which there is agreement or disagreement) can be empirically determined using cross validation.

• Vote-boosting can be used to build ensembles that are both accurate and robust to class-label noise.
