We present BAdaCost, a multi-class cost-sensitive classification algorithm. It combines a set of cost-sensitive multi-class weak learners to obtain a strong classification rule within the Boosting framework. To derive the algorithm we introduce CMEL, aCost-sensitive Multi-class Exponential Lossthat generalizes the losses optimized in various classification algorithms such as AdaBoost, SAMME, Cost-sensitive AdaBoost and PIBoost. Hence unifying them under a common theoretical framework. In the experiments performed we prove that BAdaCost achieves significant gains in performance when compared to previous multi-class cost-sensitive approaches. The advantages of the proposed algorithm in asymmetric multi-class classification are also evaluated in practical multi-view face and car detection problems.
