Improved boosting algorithms using confidence-rated predictions

Proceedings of the eleventh annual conference on Computational learning theory - COLT' 98
We describe several improvements to Freund and Schapire's AdaBoost boosting algorithm, particularly in a setting in which hypotheses may assign confidences to each of their predictions. ...
We give a specific method for assigning confidences to the predictions of decision trees, a method closely related to one used by Quinlan. ...
Thanks also to Peter Bartlett for showing us the bound on generalization error in Section 5 using pseudodimension, and to Roland Freund and Tommi Jaakkola for useful comments on numerical methods. ...

Proceedings of the fifth ACM conference on Recommender systems - RecSys '11
Essentially, the collective training paradigm builds multiple different Collaborative Filtering (CF) models separately, and augments the training ratings of each CF model by using the partial predictions ...
