For a formaltreatment, see [Friedman, 2001]What is Gradient BoostingGradient Boosting = Gradient Descent + BoostingAdaboostFigure: AdaBoost.
A Brief History of Gradient Boosting I Invent Adaboost, the rst successful boosting algorithm [Freund et al., 1996, Freund and Schapire, 1997] I Formulate Adaboost as gradient descent with a special loss function[Breiman et al., 1998, Breiman, 1999] I Generalize Adaboost to Gradient Boosting in order to handle a variety of loss functions
