Reviews: Incremental Boosting Convolutional Neural Network for Facial Action Unit Recognition

The need for incremental boosting rather than just regular boosting is because of the use of minibatch training. However, the authors do not discuss the option of not using batching. Would not using batching lead to the same algorithm for boosted CNN and incrementally boosted CNN? This should be clarified more in the paper. Is the number of epochs always 1? From Algorithm 1 it only appears that only mini-batches are used.
