In this problem, you will use Adaboost to learn a hidden function from this set of training examples. We will use two rounds of AdaBoost to learn a hypothesis for this data set. In round number t, AdaBoost chooses a weak learner that minimizes the weighted error(t). As weak learners, you will use axis parallel lines of the form
(a) Label + if x > a, else – or
(b) Label + if y > b, else -, for some integers a, b (either one of the two forms, not a disjunction of the two).
- a) The first step of AdaBoost is to create an initial data training data weight distribution D1. What are the initial weights given to data points with index 4 and 7 by the AdaBoost algorithm,
respectively?
- b) Which is the hypothesis h1 that minimizes the weighted error in the first round of AdaBoost, using the distribution D1 computed in the above question?
- c) What is the weighted error of h1 computed above?
- d) After computing h1 in the previous questions, we proceed to round 2 of AdaBoost. We begin by recomputing data weights depending on the error of h1 and whether a point was
(mis)classified by h1. What are the weights given to data points with index 4 and 7 according to the distribution after round 1, D2, respectively?
- e) Which is the hypothesis h2 that minimizes the weighted error in the second round of AdaBoost, using the distribution D2
computed in the above question?
- f) What is the weight assigned to the hypothesis of round 2, h2
- g) Now that we have completed two rounds of AdaBoost, it is time to create the final output hypothesis. What is the final weighted hypothesis after two rounds of AdaBoost?
Formulas:
Where ei = 0 if input i is classified correctly and 1 if classified incorrectly.
- What is Principle Component Analysis and how does it relate to face recognition? (20pts)
