The Water or Arrhenius Theory was widely accepted up to the early years of this century . It defines an acid as a hydrogen compound ionizing in water to give hydrogen ions, and a base as a hy<iToxyl compound which gives hydroxide ions in water. The neutralization reaction between an acid and a base produces a salt and water only: HA(ac id) + BOH(base) ""' BA(salt) + H 20(water) and the salts so...

Boosting is a kind of ensemble methods which produce a strong learner that is capable of making very accurate predictions by combining rough and moderately inaccurate learners (which are called as base learners or weak learners). In particular, Boosting sequentially trains a series of base learners by using a base learning algorithm, where the training examples wrongly predicted by a base learn...
