Federated Ensemble Regression Using Classification
Paper in proceeding, 2020

Ensemble learning has been shown to significantly improve predictive accuracy in a variety of machine learning problems. For a given predictive task, the goal of ensemble learning is to improve predictive accuracy by combining the predictive power of multiple models. In this paper, we present an ensemble learning algorithm for regression problems which leverages the distribution of the samples in a learning set to achieve improved performance. We apply the proposed algorithm to a problem in precision medicine where the goal is to predict drug perturbation effects on genes in cancer cell lines. The proposed approach significantly outperforms the base case.
