             Summary: Add Boosting algorithm for ensemble learning to machine learning library
                 Key: FLINK-1749
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1749
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Machine Learning Library
            Reporter: Till Rohrmann


Boosting [1] can help to create strong learners from an ensemble of weak learners and thus improving its performance. Widely used boosting algorithms are AdaBoost [2] and LogitBoost [3]. The work of I. Palit and C. K. Reddy [4] investigates how boosting can be efficiently realised in a distributed setting.
