Network Boosting for BCI Applications

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 3735))

Abstract

Network Boosting is an ensemble learning method which combines learners together based on a network and can learn the target hypothesis asymptotically. We apply the approach to analyze data from the P300 speller paradigm. The result on the Data set II of BCI (Brain-computer interface) competition III shows that Network Boosting achieves higher classification accuracy than logistic regression, SVM, Bagging and AdaBoost.
