Isomorphic Functionalities between Ant Colony and Ensemble Learning: Part III -- Gradient Descent, Neural Plasticity, and the Emergence of Deep Intelligence

Ernest Fokoué, Gregory Babbitt, Yuval Levental

In Parts I and II of this series, we established isomorphisms between ant colony decision-making and two major families of ensemble learning: random forests (parallel, variance red…

A General Weighting Theory for Ensemble Learning: Beyond Variance Reduction via Spectral and Geometric Structure

Ernest Fokoué

Ensemble learning is traditionally justified as a variance-reduction strategy, explaining its strong performance for unstable predictors such as decision trees. This explanation, h…
