Boosting Methods in Machine Learning
Boosting is a general method for improving the accuracy of any given learning algorithm. A typical application of AdaBoost as one of the popular boosting algorithms is fast face detection by P. Viola and M. Jones, Viola–Jones object detection framework. There AdaBoost is used both to select good features (very simple rectangles) and to turn weak learners into a final strong classifier.

Famous quotes containing the words methods, machine and/or learning:
“I believe in women; and in their right to their own best possibilities in every department of life. I believe that the methods of dress practiced among women are a marked hindrance to the realization of these possibilities, and should be scorned or persuaded out of society.”
—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
“Much that is natural, to the will must yield.
Men manufacture both machine and soul,
And use what they imperfectly control
To dare a future from the taken routes.”
—Thom Gunn (b. 1929)
“Justice turns the scale, bringing to some learning through suffering.”
—Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
