Too Long; Didn't Read
In this post, we will cover a <em>very brief </em>introduction to boosting algorithms, as well as delve under the hood of a popular boosting algorithm, AdaBoost. The purpose of this post is to provide a gentle introduction to some of the key concepts of boosting and AdaBoost. This isn’t a definitive pros and cons of AdaBoost vs Gradient Boosting etc, but more of a summary of the key theory points to understand the algorithm.
