65 Conclusion Conclusion and Open Problems Adding relative entropy regularization of LPBoost leads to good boosting alg. Boosting is instantiation of MaxEnt and MinxEnt principles [Jaines 57,Kullback 59] Relative entropy regularization smoothes one-norm regularization Open When hypotheses have one-sided error then O( log N ) iterations suffice [As00,HW03] ɛ Does ERLPBoost have O( log N ) bound when hypotheses ɛ one-sided? Replace geometric optimizers by entropic ones Compare ours with Freund s algorithms that don t just cap, but forget examples Warmuth (UCSC) ICML 09 Boosting Tutorial 61 / 62
