Robert Schapire is an American computer scientist known for his contributions to machine learning, particularly in the area of boosting algorithms. He is one of the key developers of the AdaBoost algorithm, which is a popular ensemble learning technique that combines multiple weak classifiers to create a strong classifier. Schapire's work has had a significant impact on theoretical and applied aspects of machine learning. He received the Gödel Prize in 2010, along with Yoav Freund, for their work on boosting.
