Ace your Machine Learning Interview -- Part 8

In this article of my series "Ace your Machine Learning Interview" I continue to talk about Ensemble Learning and in particular, I will focus on Boosting algorithms with special reference to AdaBoost. I hope that this series in which I review the basics of Machine Learning will be useful to you in facing your next interview! We talked in the last article in general about what Ensemble Learning is and we have seen and implemented simple Ensmble methods based on Majority Voting. Today we talk more in detail about an Ensemble method called Boosting by making special reference to Adaptive Boosting or AdaBoost. You may have heard of this algorithm before, it is often used to win Kaggle competitions for example.
