Abstract
This work explores the possibility of improving the performance of Real Adaboost ensemble classifiers by replacing their standard linear combination of learners by a gating scheme. This more powerful fusion method is defined following the epoch-by-epoch construction of boosting ensembles. Preliminary experimental results support the potential of this new approach.
