Hi !
One slide maybe should be named ‘Boosting for classification’ instead of ‘Boosting for regression’ ?
it is the third slide in Boosting for classification, and shows only square and circles. The following slide is also called ‘Boosting for regression’.
In the last slide, last bullet point:
‘and furthermore and shallow trees predict faster’
maybe
‘and furthermore shallow trees predict faster’ ?
Good catch I think I actually introduced these problems very recently … They should now be fixed.
For more context, we are still modifying the slides and hopefully we will have time to have voice-over videos next week.
Hi,
I have some other minor remarks on the slides.
Comments from slide Boosting for classification:
Slide Take away:
“bagging and random forest independently fits deep trees”
I think it is: “bagging and random forest independently fit deep trees”
Gradient boosting and boosting are the same thing? If so, I think they should be named the same to avoid confusion.
Thanks a lot, I fixed these problems as well!
Generally speaking even if there is an already related topic, don’t hesitate to open a new topic. The advantage for us is that we can mark it as solved and more easily track what remains to be done.
As I mentioned above these slides are still being worked on, so maybe don’t spend too much of your time reviewing them 
. In particular fixing typos/grammar/etc … in the notes is not worth it I think because, well, there are more impactful things for you and us to do .
For more details, as far as I know, gradient boosting decision trees is a variant of gradient boosting which itself is a variant of boosting. Probably, that means we need to think about how to simplify these slides …
Okii. Understood!
