20	Shrunken learning rates do not improve AdaBoost on benchmark datasets Forrest, Daniel L. K. 30 November 2001 (has links) Recent work has shown that AdaBoost can be viewed as an algorithm that maximizes the margin on the training data via functional gradient descent. Under this interpretation, the weight computed by AdaBoost, for each hypothesis generated, can be viewed as a step size parameter in a gradient descent search. Friedman has suggested that shrinking these step sizes could produce improved generalization and reduce overfitting. In a series of experiments, he showed that very small step sizes did indeed reduce overfitting and improve generalization for three variants of Gradient_Boost, his generic functional gradient descent algorithm. For this report, we tested whether reduced learning rates can also improve generalization in AdaBoost. We tested AdaBoost (applied to C4.5 decision trees) with reduced learning rates on 28 benchmark datasets. The results show that reduced learning rates provide no statistically significant improvement on these datasets. We conclude that reduced learning rates cannot be recommended for use with boosted decision trees on datasets similar to these benchmark datasets. / Graduation date: 2002 Supervised learning (Machine learning) Algorithms
