 • That often considers homogeneous
weak learners, learns them
independently from each other in
Bagging parallel and combines them following
some kind of deterministic averaging
process
 • That often considers homogeneous
weak learners, learns them
sequentially in a very adaptative way
Boosting (a base model depends on the
previous ones) and combines them
following a deterministic strategy
