What changed
Derived adaptive boosting without advance weak-learner performance knowledge in a general decision-theoretic framework.
Scientific scope
The record is the 1997 Journal of Computer and System Sciences article. Its 1995 extended abstract, Schapire’s earlier boosting result, later margin explanations, gradient boosting and XGBoost remain separate.
