Efficient Learning of Ensembles with QuadBoost
We first present a general risk bound for ensembles that depends on the Lp norm of the weighted combination of voters which can be selected from a continuous set. We then propose a boosting method, called QuadBoost, which is strongly supported by the general risk bound and has very simple rules for assigning the voters' weights. Moreover, QuadBoost exhibits a rate of decrease of its empirical error which is slightly faster than the one achieved by AdaBoost. The experimental results confirm the expectation of the theory that QuadBoost is a very efficient method for learning ensembles.

Hyperparameter Ensembles for Robustness and Uncertainty Quantification
Ensembles over neural network weights trained from different random initialization, known as deep ensembles, achieve state-of-the-art accuracy and calibration. The recently introduced batch ensembles provide a drop-in re…

We seek to bridge the performance gap between batch ensembles (ensembles of deep networks with shared parameters) and deep ensembles on tasks which require not only predictions, but also uncertainty estimates for these …
Pathologies of Predictive Diversity in Deep Ensembles
Classic results establish that encouraging predictive diversity improves performance in ensembles of low-capacity models, e.g. through bagging or boosting. Here we demonstrate that these intuitions do not apply to high-c…
DiversityTheoretical Limitations of Ensembles in the Age of Overparameterization
Classic tree-based ensembles generalize better than any single decision tree. In contrast, recent empirical studies find that modern ensembles of (overparameterized) neural networks may not provide any inherent generaliz…
