Achieving More with Less: A Tensor-Optimization-Powered Ensemble Method

The paper proposes a tensor‑optimization‑powered ensemble method that uses confidence tensors to capture how each weak base classifier performs across different classes. By integrating these tensors and a smooth, partially convex objective that emphasizes margin, the method improves both classification accuracy and generalization while requiring fewer base learners. The authors also prove a property of the loss gradient that enables efficient gradient‑based optimization of the constrained problem.
