Exercise

Making the most of AdaBoost

As you have seen, for predicting movie revenue, AdaBoost gives the best results with decision trees as the base estimator.

In this exercise, you'll specify some parameters to extract even more performance. In particular, you'll use a lower learning rate to have a smoother update of the hyperparameters. Therefore, the number of estimators should increase. Additionally, the following features have been added to the data: 'runtime', 'vote_average', and 'vote_count'.
