In recent years, production of text documents has seen an exponential growth, which is the reason why their proper classification seems necessary for better access. One of the main problems of classifying text documents is working in high-dimensional feature space. Feature Selection (FS) is one of the ways to reduce the number of text attributes. So, working with a great bulk of the feature spa...

The study hinged on the human activity recognition on smartphones by using the random forests model and Ada Boost model to make the classification. The study compared the classification results of two models and found the AdaBoost model had the better classification results. The study also found the Ada Boost model had the advantage of less calculation time.

Machine learning [1] is concerned with the design and development of algorithms that allow computers to evolve intelligent behaviors based on empirical data. Weak learner is a learning algorithm with accuracy less than 50%. Adaptive Boosting (Ada-Boost) is a machine learning algorithm may be used to increase accuracy for any weak learning algorithm. This can be achieved by running it on a given...

Prediction of nuclear proteins is one of the major challenges in genome annotation. A method, NcPred is described, for predicting nuclear proteins with higher accuracy exploiting n-mer statistics with different classification algorithms namely Alternating Decision (AD) Tree, Best First (BF) Tree, Random Tree and Adaptive (Ada) Boost. On BaCello dataset [1], NcPred improves about 20% accuracy wi...

This paper provides efficient and robust algorithms for real-time face detection and recognition in complex backgrounds. The algorithms are implemented using a series of signal processing methods including Ada Boost, cascade classifier, Local Binary Pattern (LBP), Haar-like feature, facial image pre-processing and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The Ada Boost algorithm is implemented in a c...

Record linkage deals with detecting homonyms and mainly synonyms in data. The package RecordLinkage provides means to perform and evaluate different record linkage methods. A stochastic framework is implemented which calculates weights through an EM algorithm. The determination of the necessary thresholds in this model can be achieved by tools of extreme value theory. Furthermore, machine learn...

Recent works on ensemble methods like Adaptive Boosting have been applied successfully in many problems. Ada-Boost algorithm running on a given weak learner several times on slightly altered data and combining the hypotheses in order to achieve higher accuracy than the weak learner. This paper presents an expert system that boosts the performance of an ensemble of classifiers. In, Boosting, a s...
