AdaBoost

Learn the AdaBoost algorithm and its working and implementation from scratch and with sklearn.

AdaBoost

AdaBoost, short for Adaptive boosting, is a popular ensemble learning algorithm used for both classification and regression tasks. For classification, it combines multiple weak classifiers into a strong classifier, improving predictive performance. A weak learner is a classifier that performs only slightly better than random guessing. AdaBoost assigns higher weights to misclassified instances during each iteration, allowing the subsequent weak learners to focus on the previously misclassified samples. By iteratively adjusting the weights, AdaBoost improves the performance of the overall model.
