Dr. James McCaffrey from Microsoft Research presents a C# program that illustrates using the AdaBoost algorithm to perform binary classification for spam detection. Compared to other classification ...

The original AdaBoost ("adaptive boosting") algorithm is a binary classification technique (predicting a variable that has two possible values, such as the sex of a person). The AdaBoost.R2 ("AdaBoost ...

Boosting is one of the important ensemble classifiers emerging in the past decade. [10] provides a statistical insight: AdaBoost can be viewed as a Newton-like updates minimizing exponential criterion ...
