Ensemble methods that train multiple learners and then combine them to use, with Boosting and Bagging as representatives, are well-known machine learning approaches. It has become common sense that an ensemble is usually significantly more accurate than a single learner, and ensemble methods have already achieved great success in various real-world tasks. Twelve years have passed since the... Read more
