Explaining the AdaBoost Algorithms to non-technical people

I've been trying to understand the AdaBoost algorithm without much success. I'm struggling with understanding the Viola Jones paper on Face Detection as an example. Can you explain AdaBoost in laymen's terms and present good examples of when it's used? ...

Adaboost algorithm and its usage in face detection

I am trying to understand Adaboost algorithm but i have some troubles. After reading about Adaboost i realized that it is a classification algorithm(somehow like neural network). But i could not know how the weak classifiers are chosen (i think they are haar-like features for face detection) and how finally the H result which is the fin...

Explaining training method for AdaBoost algorithm

Hi, I'm trying to understand the Haar feature method used for the training step in the AdaBoost algorithm. I don't understand the math that well so I'd appreciate more of a conceptual answer (as much as possible, anyway). Basically, what does it do? How do you choose positive and negative sets for what you want to select? Can it be gener...

Training sets for AdaBoost algorithm

How do you find the negative and positive training data sets of Haar features for the AdaBoost algorithm? So say you have a certain type of blob that you want to locate in an image and there are several of them in your entire array - how do you go about training it? I'd appreciate a nontechnical explanation as much as possible. I'm new t...

AdaBoost ML algorithm python implementation

Hi guys, Is there anyone that has some ideas on how to implement the AdaBoost (Boostexter) algorithm in python? Cheers! ...

Multilabel AdaBoost for MATLAB

Hi, I am currently looking for a multilabel AdaBoost implementation for MATLAB or a technique for efficiently using a two-label implementation for the multilabel case. Any help in that matter would be appreciated. ...
