[The] gradient boosting algorithm is an ensemble learning method based on a combination of additive models(weak learners), which can gradually learn from the previous misclassifications to create a stronger learning model. This algorithm has been complemented with a feature selection process that increases the overall performance by extracting the most relevant features from the input data. 2, record 1, English, - gradient%20boosting%20algorithm

The proposed iterative restoration algorithm is derived by modifying the optimal gradient method through an adaptive relaxation technique. The adaptivity is introduced to incorporate properties of the true restoration error. This makes the successive approximations approach the exact solution much faster, enabling a visually good convergence within a few iterates. 2, record 2, English, - iterative%20restoration%20algorithm

Vortex methods are used to simulate chaotic fluid flows at high Reynolds numbers, whereby the gradient of changes demand higher and higher resolution meshes. The fast vortex algorithm, as the Barnes-Hut one, treats the effect of far-away vortices as an average effect to speed up computation. 1, record 5, English, - vortex%20algorithm
