Progressive boosting for class imbalance and its application to face re-identification

作者:

Highlights:

• The progressive Boosting Ensemble is proposed for learning from imbalanced data.

• Partitioning data in Boosting lead to higher diversity and less information loss.

• Trajectory under-sampling in PBoost is more effective for face re-identification.

• Validating on various skew levels of data in Boosting increases robustness to skew.

• Partitioning and validating on different skew levels reduce computation complexity.
