Overview
AdaBoost is an algorithm that is used together with other machine learning models for optimal performance. It uses ensemble learning techniques, combining weaker models to form more accurate predictions.
This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at data scientists and software engineers who wish to use AdaBoost to build boosting algorithms for machine learning with Python.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Set up the necessary development environment to start building machine learning models with AdaBoost.
- Understand the ensemble learning approach and how to implement adaptive boosting.
- Learn how to build AdaBoost models to boost machine learning algorithms in Python.
- Use hyperparameter tuning to increase the accuracy and performance of AdaBoost models.
