removing the duplication in Bayesian & AdaBoost

›
I've been thinking some more on how to remove the duplication between the Bayesian events/AdaBoost partial hypotheses. Here are some no...

AdaBoost conjunctions & XOR

›
I've been thinking recently about the better ways to extract the commonality from two Bayesian events (hope to find time to write about ...

Bayes 26 & AdaBoost: more on the partial confidence

›
I think I've found at least a partial solution to the problem of partial confidence that avoids going exponential. It grows right out...

Bayes 25 & AdaBoost: the partial confidence problem

›
The code in the previous example works only with the full-confidence events, those that have the confidence of 0 or 1. Unfortunately I haven...

a better explanation of Bayes-AdaBoost connection

›
After some re-reading, my previous posts on the Bayesian interpretation of AdaBoost have been kind of cryptic. It's no wonder because ...
