Adaboost (Adaptive Boosting) Adaboost combines multiple weak learners into a single strong learner. This method does not follow Bootstrapping. However, it will create different decision trees with a single split (one depth), called decision stumps. The number of decision stumps it will make will depend on the number of features in the dataset. Suppose there are M features then, Adaboost will create M decision stumps. 1. We will assign an equal sample weight to each observation. 2. We will create M decision stumps, for M number of features. 3. Out of all M decision stumps, I first have to select one best decision tree model. For selecting it, we will either calculate the Entropy or Gini coefficient. The model with lesser entropy will be selected (means model that is less disordered). 4. Now, after the first decision stump is built, an algorithm would evaluate this decision and check how many observations the model has misclassified. 5. Suppose out of N observations, The first decision stump has misclassified T number of observations. 6. For this, we will calculate the total error (TE), which is equal to T/N. 7. Now we will calculate the performance of the first decision stump. Performance of stump = 1/2*loge((1-TE)/TE) 8. Now we will update the weights assigned before. To do this, we will first update the weights of those observations, which we have misclassified. The weights of wrongly classified observations will be increased and the weights of correctly classified weights will be reduced. 9. By using this formula: old weight * e performance of stump 10. Now respectively for each observation, we will add and subtract the updated weights to get the final weights. 11. But these weights are not normalized that is their sum is not equal to one. To do this, we will sum them and divide each final weight with that sum. 12. After this, we have to make our second decision stump. For this, we will make a class intervals for the normalized weights. 13. After that, we want to make a second weak model. But to do that, we need a sample dataset on which the second weak model can be run. For making it, we will run N number of iterations. On each iteration, it will calculate a random number ranging between 0-1 and this random will be compared with class intervals we created and on which class interval it lies, that row will be selected for sample data set. So new sample data set would also be of N observation. 14. This whole process will continue for M decision stumps. The final sequential tree would be considered as the final tree.

My Suggestion will be that first arrange your playlist, so that we do not get confused of topics

This was the longest 14min video I have ever seen.... The content of the video is much much more than the displayed duration of video Thanks a lot sir

Watched all your videos but still always eager every day for next topic to learn

One of the best explanations of AdaBoost if I have seen so far... Keep up the good work Krish :)

One of the best explanatory video of AdaBoost. thank you sir!!

@Krish Naik : Thank you very much for the video. Concepts are clearly explained and it is simply Excellent. One thing I wanted to highlight is --- In the Adaboost, final prediction is not the mode of the prediction given by the stump's. It is that value, whose group's total performance say is high

Great video once again. plies don't forget to watch it once more as things are getting a little bit more complicated. I will watch the same video again but not today. tomorrow. Thanks

Thanks for this explanation, it's the best I've come across! It really helped me understand the fundamentals :)

Each and every topics are there in your channel on DS,ML,DL and which is explained clearly.Because of you many of the students learn all these kinds of stuff, thanks for that.I assure no one can explain like this with such a content💯. once again thank u so... much....

This is a in-depth process of ad boosting algorithm. Great explained by Krish Sir. Thank you for making such a wonderful video. I have jotted down process step from this video: This iteration is performed until all misclassification convert into correct classification 1. We have a dataset 2. Assigning equal weights to each observation 3. Finding best base learner -Creating stumps or base learners sequentially -Computing Gini impurity or Entropy -Whichever the learner have less impurity will be selecting as base learner 4. Train a model with base learner 5. Predicted on the model 6. Counting Misclassification data 7. Computing Misclassification Error - Total error = sum(Weight of misclassified data) 8. Computing performance of the stumps - Performance of stumps = 1/2*Log-e(1-total error/total error) 9. Update the weights of incorrectly classified data - New Weight = Old Weight * Exp^performance of stump Updating the weights of correctly classified data - New Weight = Old Weight * Exp^-performance of stump 10. Normalize the weight 11. Creating buckets on normalize weight 12. Algorithm generating random number equals to number of observations 13. Selecting where the random numbers fall in the buckets 14. Creating a new data 15. Running 2 to 14 steps above mentioned on each iteration until it each its limit 16. Prediction on the model with new data 17. Collecting votes from each base model 18. Majority vote will be considered as final output

This is really good stuff. Great job Krish

now i got better understanding of ensemble techniques, thanks sir

Very crisp n clear explanation, sir

Indian KZfaqrs are the best. Always! To the point and clear explanation.

the way you simplify things!!

this is the best explanation thanks a lot

thnaks for this accurate and energetic explaination

Thank you for this great explanation 👍

Perfect explanation!!

You just adaboosted my confidence my guy

Krish was mentioning 8 iterations for selecting the records for the next learner...there are really 7 records...it will choose a random bucket 7 times...and since the max weighted values mostly will be present in the larger bucket size, probability of rand(0,1), most of the time the maximum bucket will be choosen.....Genius technique!!

Excellent Video Krish

incredible as always !!!!

best explanation ever

thankyou krish bhaii !

really easily explained

explained very well.

You should have gotten more views for this video. Your explanation is excellent

awesome tutorial sir :)

Hi Krish, great video, it would helpful if you could give us a more intuitive explanation of why does adaboost really work

you are my lifesaver

Thank you♥️

Do a comparison b/w ADABOOST and XGBOOST. Also, Proximity matrix in Python, Sklearn does not have it inbuilt.

Hello sir. Just a request. Please upload some explanation videos regarding different algorithms like Lightgbm and Catboost etc.

you are our dronacharya :)

Krishna, thanks for these videos, could you please make XGBoost , CATBoost and Light GBM videos too..It will be great help from you Thanks in advance :)

U r too awesome Krish

Hi krish can you explain what is the difference between ada boosting and XG boosting. Thanks for your efforts

Why we need to do exactly 8 interactions and how the randome values will come?

Hi Krish Awesome tutorial on Adaboost.... just one question i have: how to calculate total error and performance of stump in case of regression and how does ensemble happen in this case

well explained sir

when selecting the first base model, are we passing some random sample to m models for calculating the entropy? since all of our base models are decision tree what is the right approach to calculate the entropy

nice one. even me as trainer felt it better.

Great Work Krish! Loving your work on ML algorithms. Can you please create a video or two on Gradient Boosting? Thanks again!

Thank you !

dude u r good at explaining. Found your channel after watching StatsQuest

Hi Krish! Thanks for the quick and clear explanation. At 11:42 you missed one thing. When we got a new collection of samples we need give all samples equal weights again 1/n

Sir please make a video about EDA(exploratory data analysis)

Good one!

Thank yoo soo much :)

Thanks

@13.34 doesn't the end classification is done by adding the total say of a stomp per classification and finding which classification has the highest total say,or is it the majority vote ?

May I ask why we need to randomly select the number ranging from 0-1 to compare with class intervals instead just of choosing the misclassified record since we need to change the weights of the misclassified record?

5:35- more often i see people use LOG base 2 (since information represented in BITS)

hey @krish can put videos for other boosting algorithms.

sir ,we also decrease the weight in xgboost algo??

Nice Video

Suppose there are two wrongly classified record, then weight for those will be same and comes under the same bucket, in that case after eight iterations there will be more records for training or what if generated random number in iterations belongs to the same bucket for more than 1 time

thanks

Thanks sir your vedios are great but ,one request please arrange it in order

Thnx sir

at 10:52, suppose you says after iteration a random value 0.43 will generate, i did not get how the value calculating to initialize a new data set.

Ironically it is so very similar (from start till end) to Josh starmer video on Adaboost. 😀

Good Explanation. At test time it will multiply terror and weight and then sum. Am i right?

@8:30 minutes of the video, it should be 0.349 for an incorrectly specified classifier. As we got updated weight for the correctly specified classifiers. I love your teaching. Adore.

I wish you made a video on Gaussian mixture models

Great

Great videp

Krish Bhaiya Amar Rahe !!

Sir is unconstrained decision tree a special case in which we have high bias and high variance error??

Bro can u add this video to the playlists which you created, we could not find this video in playlists

can i use boosting for neural networks?

how does it selects a random value of 0.43 is there any method.

is there any algorithm to select a random bucket, what if the number is it generating in eight iterations not belongs to any error bucket

great

will the algorithm same for classification and regression both ?

Any reason why decision stumps are used?. Can't we use trees with more depth for each iteration?.

After the first iteration when you spoke about the buckets, post that your explanation became a little ambiguous. If you are considering the Gini impurities or the entropy whichever of them, you would still have the similar information gain and the same feature gets selected and that feature would still classify the records in the same way (just as the 1st iteration) and hence the misclassifications would still remain the same. I think you have to get a bit of clarity on that and then could explain about the iterations post updating weight what exactly happens differently so that the misclassifications might go a Lil less or chances of Miss classification goes a Lil down. Other than that everything is fine.

First you said only the records got errors will populated to the next model but last you said the selection works n times where each time one record being selected and on the next DT there will be n records as the first DT, so which is correct ? can someone clarify this part

CJT - Condorcet Jury theorem will help in understanding how weak learners become strong learners.

In the updated weights you put 0.349 for the wrong record or was it correct?

why we must increase sample weight of the error prediction and decrease sample weight of true prediction?

Sir, the part where you explain about creating bins, with bin1=[0.07, 0.51], bin2=[0.51,0.58], bin3=[0.58,0.65] and so on. Post that how you got values 0.43 randomly and its purpose was not clear. Please explain.

At 10:54 how the value 0.43 comes?

and how do we find the coeiff in logestic regression

Can we use random forest as a base learner?

8:25 - u should have updated SAMPLE #3 since it was incorrect.

how can we get the code with an example

Question : when Second Stump is created, after creating a new data set will we reinitialize the weights or use the previous weights which were updated? I also watched statquest video where weights were reinitialized as they were in Beijing .

At 8:13 3rd record is incorrectly classified, so shouldn't the updated weight value of 3rd instance be 0.349

sir plz make vedios on how we can use adaboost with CNNs

Sir you are great. But I have doubts. 1)why we used decision tree as a weak learner in ensemble technique? 2)which types of ML models used for ensemble technique? 3)can we used only. Weak learners in ensemble technique? Plzzz sir help me to clear these douts. #th@Nk u

i want to know that is there is any use of stump weights when we r predicting the values.....i want to know exactly will it work on testing data. plzzz make a video over that i read a bloggg where it says that prediction is done by using y= summation over wi* f(x), where wi is each stump weight.... plzzz let me know how it works

Krish, if the data had 7 records, how is your calculation of updated weights corresponding to 8 records. Also you mentioned to create a new data with 8 records. Looks like something very similar was explained in statsquest video. Copying is not bad but should be done with some cleverness.

11:30 Isn't repetition of same dataset not good in ML training?

What if the total error is larger than 0.5? Please try for error greater then 0.5.

Sir please explain Adaboost Regression. Please Sir 🙏

Here after creating new dataset containing error Where are we trying reduce the errors ? How are we deploying the errors found in stump 1 into stump 2 and how it clearly reduce ?

From 10:40 -- How the random value of 0.43, 0.31 is getting selected ? How are you telling that it will perform 8 iteration ? Im not getting that point. Can you please help me out on this ?
