What is Ensemble Learning?


Ensemble Learning refers to the process of building multiple models and then combining them in a way that can produce better results than individual models. These individual models can be classifiers, regressors, or anything else that models data in some way. Ensemble learning is used extensively across multiple fields including data classification, predictive modeling, anomaly detection, and so on.

Why do we need ensemble learning in the first place? In order to understand this, let's take a real-life example. You want to buy a new TV, but you don't know what the latest models are. Your goal is to get the best value for your money, but you don't have enough knowledge on this topic to make an informed decision.
