Focus on Errors

Learning from Mistakes

A great teacher doesn't spend equal time on every student. They identify who's struggling and provide targeted help. They don't abandon strong students, but they recognize that the marginal value of attention is highest for those who need it most.

Boosting embodies this principle algorithmically. After each round, it increases the importance of misclassified examples—forcing the next learner to focus its limited capacity on the current failures. This focus on errors is the mechanism that transforms weak learners into strong ensembles.

What You Will Learn

By the end of this page, you will understand: how sample weights evolve during boosting, the exponential update rule and its implications, the concentration of weights on hard examples, the connection to curriculum learning, and potential pitfalls of aggressive error focusing.

The Weight Distribution Perspective

At the heart of boosting's error focus is a simple idea: treat sample weights as a probability distribution over examples. Each weak learner trains not on the raw data, but on this weighted distribution.

Initially, weights are uniform: every example has weight w_i = 1/n. This distribution is modified after each round based on performance:

The weight update formula (AdaBoost):

$$w_i^{(t+1)} = \frac{w_i^{(t)} \cdot \exp(-\alpha_t \cdot y_i \cdot h_t(x_i))}{Z_t}$$

where:

w_i^(t) is the weight of example i at round t
α_t is the learner weight (higher for more accurate learners)
y_i ∈ {-1, +1} is the true label
h_t(x_i) ∈ {-1, +1} is the prediction
Z_t is a normalization constant

The critical insight:

If y_i · h_t(x_i) = +1 (correct prediction): multiply by exp(-α_t) < 1 → weight decreases
If y_i · h_t(x_i) = -1 (wrong prediction): multiply by exp(+α_t) > 1 → weight increases

Weight Update Mechanics
Prediction	y_i · h_t(x_i)	Multiplier	Effect on Weight
Correct	+1	exp(-α_t) < 1	Decreases
Incorrect	-1	exp(+α_t) > 1	Increases

Example with concrete numbers:

Suppose a learner achieves 30% weighted error (70% accuracy), giving:

$$\alpha_t = \frac{1}{2} \ln\left(\frac{0.7}{0.3}\right) = \frac{1}{2} \ln(2.33) \approx 0.424$$

Correctly classified examples: weight multiplied by exp(-0.424) ≈ 0.65
Incorrectly classified examples: weight multiplied by exp(0.424) ≈ 1.53

After normalization, misclassified examples are now ~2.4x more important than correctly classified ones (relative change: 1.53/0.65 ≈ 2.35).

Exponential Amplification

The exponential update is aggressive. An example that's misclassified 5 times in a row (with typical α values) might have 10x-50x the weight of an always-correct example. This strong pressure ensures the ensemble eventually handles every example, even the hardest.

Visualizing Weight Evolution

The best way to understand error focusing is to watch weights evolve during training. We'll track a toy dataset through several boosting rounds.

What you observe:

Initial uniformity: At round 0, all points have equal size—uniform weights.
Growing emphasis on boundaries: By round 5, points near the decision boundary become larger. These are harder to classify correctly.
Concentration on outliers: By round 15-20, a few points dominate the weight distribution. These are the 'persistently hard' examples—ones that most weak learners misclassify.
Weight concentration increases over time: The max weight grows from 1/n (0.005 for n=200) to potentially 10x-100x higher for hard examples.

This concentration is the mechanism by which boosting guarantees that every training example eventually gets classified correctly (given enough rounds and suitable weak learners).

The Hard Example Curriculum

Boosting naturally creates a curriculum—an ordering of examples from easy to hard. Early rounds solve easy cases; later rounds focus on progressively harder ones. This connects boosting to the field of curriculum learning.

The Implicit Curriculum

•Easy examples first: The first few learners solve the 'obvious' cases—linearly separable clusters, prototypical class members.
•Boundary examples next: As easy examples lose weight, attention shifts to points near decision boundaries—ambiguous cases requiring nuanced rules.
•Outliers and noise last: Eventually, only the hardest examples remain weighted highly: outliers, mislabeled points, or genuinely ambiguous cases.
•Diminishing returns: Later rounds improve smaller fractions of the data, but these marginal gains matter for zero training error.

Connection to Curriculum Learning

Modern curriculum learning explicitly orders training examples from easy to hard, showing this often improves generalization. Boosting achieves this implicitly through weight updates. The key difference: in boosting, 'easy' examples aren't discarded—they maintain nonzero weight—but 'hard' examples get increasing attention.

Categorizing examples by boosting behavior:

We can classify training examples based on how they're treated during boosting:

Example Categories in Boosting
Category	Definition	Weight Trajectory	Ensemble Margin
Easy	Correct from round 1	Decreases rapidly	Large positive
Moderate	Correct after 5-10 rounds	Oscillates, then decreases	Moderate positive
Hard	Needs many rounds	Increases, then plateaus	Small positive
Stubborn	Often misclassified	Consistently high	Near zero or fluctuating
Outlier/Noise	Almost never correct	Very high, dominates	Near zero or negative

The Focus-Accuracy Tradeoff

Error focusing creates a tradeoff that's crucial to understand: as weights concentrate on hard examples, weak learners become increasingly specialized—and potentially less reliable overall.

The concentration problem:

After many rounds, weight may concentrate on a small fraction of examples. If 90% of weight is on 5% of examples:

Weak learners optimize for those 5%: The stump that minimizes weighted error now primarily fits outliers.
The majority matters less: A split that misclassifies many low-weight examples but correctly handles high-weight ones will be preferred.
Edge decreases: As attention focuses on the hardest cases, achieving even γ > 0 becomes difficult. The weak learner might barely beat random guessing on this reweighted distribution.

The edge death spiral:

In extreme cases, weight concentration can cause boosting to stall:

Weights concentrate on near-impossible examples
Weak learner achieves only slight edge (γ → 0)
α_t becomes very small (learner contributes little)
Progress slows dramatically

Diagnosing Edge Collapse

Monitor the edge (γ = 0.5 - weighted_error) across rounds. If it approaches zero, boosting is struggling. Common causes: (1) too few features for remaining hard cases, (2) mislabeled examples that can't be correctly classified, (3) noise that the model shouldn't fit. Solutions include: stronger weak learners, regularization, or early stopping.

Hard Examples and Generalization

The focus on errors creates a fundamental question: Is fitting hard examples good for generalization, or does it lead to overfitting? The answer is nuanced and depends on why examples are hard.

When Fitting Hard Examples Helps

•Boundary cases: Examples near the true boundary are legitimately hard; fitting them improves boundary precision.
•Underrepresented patterns: Minority subgroups may be hard due to rarity; fitting them improves coverage.
•Complex interactions: Examples requiring feature interactions are hard for stumps individually; ensembles should master them.

When Fitting Hard Examples Hurts

•Label noise: Mislabeled examples are hard because they're wrong; fitting them damages generalization.
•Outliers: Genuine outliers may be anomalous in ways that don't generalize.
•Irreducible randomness: Some domains have inherent noise at individual level; fitting it is pure overfitting.

The margin theory perspective:

Boosting's remarkable resistance to overfitting is explained by the margin theory. Even after training error reaches zero, boosting continues to increase the margin of examples—the confidence of correct predictions.

$$\text{margin}(x_i) = y_i \cdot \frac{\sum_t \alpha_t h_t(x_i)}{\sum_t \alpha_t}$$

Larger margins provide a buffer against noise and perturbations at test time. Continued boosting, rather than increasing overfitting, often improves generalization by widening margins.

However, this protection breaks down when:

Too many rounds fit noise to artificially increase margins
Label noise means some margins should be negative
Weak learners are complex enough to memorize

The Margin-Generalization Connection

Generalization bounds for boosting depend on the margin distribution, not just training accuracy. An ensemble with 100% training accuracy but small margins may generalize worse than one with 99% accuracy but large margins. This explains why boosting can keep improving after reaching zero training error.

Regularizing the Focus

When aggressive error focusing leads to overfitting, several techniques can regularize the process:

Regularization Strategies

•Shrinkage (learning rate): Scale down α_t by a factor η < 1. Smaller updates mean slower weight concentration and more regularized ensembles.
•Weight capping: Limit maximum weight to some multiple of 1/n. Prevents any example from dominating.
•Subsampling (stochastic boosting): Train each weak learner on a random subset. Reduces overfitting to specific hard examples.
•Early stopping: Stop before weights over-concentrate. Use validation error to choose stopping point.
•Smoothed updates: Use less aggressive update formulas (e.g., logistic instead of exponential).

Practical Defaults

Modern implementations like XGBoost and LightGBM use learning_rate = 0.1 by default, along with subsampling and tree constraints. This regularized focus generally outperforms aggressive focusing on noisy real-world data.

Focus on Errors in Gradient Boosting

Gradient boosting implements error focusing differently from AdaBoost, but the principle is the same: each learner targets what the ensemble currently gets wrong.

AdaBoost's approach:

Uses sample weights to define importance
Weak learner trains on weighted distribution
Focus is through weight concentration

Gradient Boosting's approach:

Uses targets (pseudo-residuals) to define what to learn
Weak learner fits these targets directly
Focus is through fitting residual errors

The pseudo-residual for example i after t-1 rounds is:

$$r_i^{(t)} = -\left[\frac{\partial L(y_i, F(x_i))}{\partial F(x_i)}\right]{F=F{t-1}}$$

For squared loss: r_i = y_i - F_{t-1}(x_i) (the literal residual)

For logistic loss: r_i = y_i - p_i where p_i is predicted probability

Summary

We've explored the error-focusing mechanism that powers boosting—how attention concentrates on hard examples to drive improvement.

Key Takeaways

•Weights define importance: Sample weights create an adaptive distribution that emphasizes current errors. Misclassified examples gain weight; correct ones lose weight.
•Exponential updates are aggressive: The exp(±α) multiplier causes rapid weight concentration. Persistently wrong examples dominate after many rounds.
•Boosting creates a curriculum: Easy examples are solved first, then attention shifts to boundaries, then outliers. This implicit curriculum drives comprehensive learning.
•Focus can help or hurt generalization: Fitting hard examples improves boundary precision but can overfit noise. The outcome depends on why examples are hard.
•Regularization controls focus: Shrinkage, weight capping, subsampling, and early stopping prevent over-concentration on outliers and noise.
•Gradient boosting uses residuals: Instead of sample weights, gradient boosting fits pseudo-residuals—larger residuals implicitly receive more focus.

What's next:

We've seen how boosting focuses on errors. But how does this focus translate into dramatic accuracy improvements from initially weak models? The next page explores Strength Amplification—the mathematical guarantees and intuition behind boosting's ability to convert weak learners into strong ensembles.

Page Complete

You now understand boosting's error-focusing mechanism: how sample weights concentrate on hard examples, the curriculum this creates, and how to regularize when focus becomes too aggressive. Next, we'll see how this focus powers the amplification of weak accuracy to arbitrarily high accuracy.

What You Will Learn

The Weight Distribution Perspective

Initially, weights are uniform: every example has weight w_i = 1/n. This distribution is modified after each round based on performance:

The weight update formula (AdaBoost):

$$w_i^{(t+1)} = \frac{w_i^{(t)} \cdot \exp(-\alpha_t \cdot y_i \cdot h_t(x_i))}{Z_t}$$

where:

w_i^(t) is the weight of example i at round t
α_t is the learner weight (higher for more accurate learners)
y_i ∈ {-1, +1} is the true label
h_t(x_i) ∈ {-1, +1} is the prediction
Z_t is a normalization constant

The critical insight:

If y_i · h_t(x_i) = +1 (correct prediction): multiply by exp(-α_t) < 1 → weight decreases
If y_i · h_t(x_i) = -1 (wrong prediction): multiply by exp(+α_t) > 1 → weight increases

Weight Update Mechanics
Prediction	y_i · h_t(x_i)	Multiplier	Effect on Weight
Correct	+1	exp(-α_t) < 1	Decreases
Incorrect	-1	exp(+α_t) > 1	Increases

Example with concrete numbers:

Suppose a learner achieves 30% weighted error (70% accuracy), giving:

$$\alpha_t = \frac{1}{2} \ln\left(\frac{0.7}{0.3}\right) = \frac{1}{2} \ln(2.33) \approx 0.424$$

Correctly classified examples: weight multiplied by exp(-0.424) ≈ 0.65
Incorrectly classified examples: weight multiplied by exp(0.424) ≈ 1.53

After normalization, misclassified examples are now ~2.4x more important than correctly classified ones (relative change: 1.53/0.65 ≈ 2.35).

Exponential Amplification

Visualizing Weight Evolution

The best way to understand error focusing is to watch weights evolve during training. We'll track a toy dataset through several boosting rounds.

What you observe:

Initial uniformity: At round 0, all points have equal size—uniform weights.
Growing emphasis on boundaries: By round 5, points near the decision boundary become larger. These are harder to classify correctly.
Concentration on outliers: By round 15-20, a few points dominate the weight distribution. These are the 'persistently hard' examples—ones that most weak learners misclassify.
Weight concentration increases over time: The max weight grows from 1/n (0.005 for n=200) to potentially 10x-100x higher for hard examples.

This concentration is the mechanism by which boosting guarantees that every training example eventually gets classified correctly (given enough rounds and suitable weak learners).

The Hard Example Curriculum

The Implicit Curriculum

•Easy examples first: The first few learners solve the 'obvious' cases—linearly separable clusters, prototypical class members.
•Boundary examples next: As easy examples lose weight, attention shifts to points near decision boundaries—ambiguous cases requiring nuanced rules.
•Outliers and noise last: Eventually, only the hardest examples remain weighted highly: outliers, mislabeled points, or genuinely ambiguous cases.
•Diminishing returns: Later rounds improve smaller fractions of the data, but these marginal gains matter for zero training error.

Connection to Curriculum Learning

Categorizing examples by boosting behavior:

We can classify training examples based on how they're treated during boosting:

Example Categories in Boosting
Category	Definition	Weight Trajectory	Ensemble Margin
Easy	Correct from round 1	Decreases rapidly	Large positive
Moderate	Correct after 5-10 rounds	Oscillates, then decreases	Moderate positive
Hard	Needs many rounds	Increases, then plateaus	Small positive
Stubborn	Often misclassified	Consistently high	Near zero or fluctuating
Outlier/Noise	Almost never correct	Very high, dominates	Near zero or negative

The Focus-Accuracy Tradeoff

Error focusing creates a tradeoff that's crucial to understand: as weights concentrate on hard examples, weak learners become increasingly specialized—and potentially less reliable overall.

The concentration problem:

After many rounds, weight may concentrate on a small fraction of examples. If 90% of weight is on 5% of examples:

Weak learners optimize for those 5%: The stump that minimizes weighted error now primarily fits outliers.
The majority matters less: A split that misclassifies many low-weight examples but correctly handles high-weight ones will be preferred.
Edge decreases: As attention focuses on the hardest cases, achieving even γ > 0 becomes difficult. The weak learner might barely beat random guessing on this reweighted distribution.

The edge death spiral:

In extreme cases, weight concentration can cause boosting to stall:

Weights concentrate on near-impossible examples
Weak learner achieves only slight edge (γ → 0)
α_t becomes very small (learner contributes little)
Progress slows dramatically

Hard Examples and Generalization

The focus on errors creates a fundamental question: Is fitting hard examples good for generalization, or does it lead to overfitting? The answer is nuanced and depends on why examples are hard.

When Fitting Hard Examples Helps

•Boundary cases: Examples near the true boundary are legitimately hard; fitting them improves boundary precision.
•Underrepresented patterns: Minority subgroups may be hard due to rarity; fitting them improves coverage.
•Complex interactions: Examples requiring feature interactions are hard for stumps individually; ensembles should master them.

When Fitting Hard Examples Hurts

•Label noise: Mislabeled examples are hard because they're wrong; fitting them damages generalization.
•Outliers: Genuine outliers may be anomalous in ways that don't generalize.
•Irreducible randomness: Some domains have inherent noise at individual level; fitting it is pure overfitting.

The margin theory perspective:

$$\text{margin}(x_i) = y_i \cdot \frac{\sum_t \alpha_t h_t(x_i)}{\sum_t \alpha_t}$$

Larger margins provide a buffer against noise and perturbations at test time. Continued boosting, rather than increasing overfitting, often improves generalization by widening margins.

However, this protection breaks down when:

Too many rounds fit noise to artificially increase margins
Label noise means some margins should be negative
Weak learners are complex enough to memorize

The Margin-Generalization Connection

Regularizing the Focus

When aggressive error focusing leads to overfitting, several techniques can regularize the process:

Regularization Strategies

•Shrinkage (learning rate): Scale down α_t by a factor η < 1. Smaller updates mean slower weight concentration and more regularized ensembles.
•Weight capping: Limit maximum weight to some multiple of 1/n. Prevents any example from dominating.
•Subsampling (stochastic boosting): Train each weak learner on a random subset. Reduces overfitting to specific hard examples.
•Early stopping: Stop before weights over-concentrate. Use validation error to choose stopping point.
•Smoothed updates: Use less aggressive update formulas (e.g., logistic instead of exponential).

Focus on Errors in Gradient Boosting

Gradient boosting implements error focusing differently from AdaBoost, but the principle is the same: each learner targets what the ensemble currently gets wrong.

AdaBoost's approach:

Uses sample weights to define importance
Weak learner trains on weighted distribution
Focus is through weight concentration

Gradient Boosting's approach:

Uses targets (pseudo-residuals) to define what to learn
Weak learner fits these targets directly
Focus is through fitting residual errors

The pseudo-residual for example i after t-1 rounds is:

$$r_i^{(t)} = -\left[\frac{\partial L(y_i, F(x_i))}{\partial F(x_i)}\right]{F=F{t-1}}$$

For squared loss: r_i = y_i - F_{t-1}(x_i) (the literal residual)

For logistic loss: r_i = y_i - p_i where p_i is predicted probability

Summary

We've explored the error-focusing mechanism that powers boosting—how attention concentrates on hard examples to drive improvement.

Key Takeaways

•Weights define importance: Sample weights create an adaptive distribution that emphasizes current errors. Misclassified examples gain weight; correct ones lose weight.
•Exponential updates are aggressive: The exp(±α) multiplier causes rapid weight concentration. Persistently wrong examples dominate after many rounds.
•Boosting creates a curriculum: Easy examples are solved first, then attention shifts to boundaries, then outliers. This implicit curriculum drives comprehensive learning.
•Focus can help or hurt generalization: Fitting hard examples improves boundary precision but can overfit noise. The outcome depends on why examples are hard.
•Regularization controls focus: Shrinkage, weight capping, subsampling, and early stopping prevent over-concentration on outliers and noise.
•Gradient boosting uses residuals: Instead of sample weights, gradient boosting fits pseudo-residuals—larger residuals implicitly receive more focus.
