Multiagent ensemble learning is an important class of algorithms aimed at creating accurate and robust machine learning models by combining predictions from individual agents. A key challenge for the design of these models is to create effective rules to combine individual predictions for any particular input sample. This paper addresses this challenge and proposes a unique integration of constrained optimization and learning to derive specialized consensus rules to compose accurate predictions from a pretrained ensemble. The resulting strategy, called end-to-end Multiagent ensemble Learning e2e-MEL , learns to select appropriate predictors to combine for a particular input sample. The paper shows how to derive the ensemble learning task into a differentiable selection program which is trained end-to-end within the ensemble learning model. Results over standard benchmarks demonstrate the ability of e2e-MEL to substantially outperform conventional consensus rules in a variety of settings.
