Replace rand:: imports with ndarray_rand::rand:: for consistency 2. Change sample_weights from f32 to f64 for better precision 3. Fix learning_rate cancellation bug in weight update formula - Previously: weight *= ((alpha / learning_rate) as f32).exp() - Now: weight *= alpha.exp() - This ensures learning_rate actually affects sample weight updates 4. Fix classes field to store actual labels (T::Elem) instead of usize - Made AdaBoost struct generic over label type L - Stores original class labels for proper type safety 5. Remove duplicate y_array definition in predict_inplace 6. Add base learner error details to error message for better debugging 7. Add test_adaboost_different_learning_rates to verify learning_rate effects on model weights All tests passing with no warnings or clippy issues. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 --- algorithms/linfa-ensemble/src/adaboost.rs | 48 +++++++++++------------ algorithms/linfa-ensemble/src/lib.rs | 42 ++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 66 insertions(+), 24 deletions(-) diff --git a/algorithms/linfa-ensemble/src/adaboost.rs b/algorithms/linfa-ensemble/src/adaboost.rs index e7566e7b2..ef60bf8ee 100644 --- a/algorithms/linfa-ensemble/src/adaboost.rs +++ b/algorithms/linfa-ensemble/src/adaboost.rs @@ -6,9 +6,9 @@ use linfa::{ DatasetBase, };
