The paper explores the application of neural networks as ensemble methods for machine learning models, focusing on the importance of dynamic ensembling to adaptively leverage diverse model predictions. The authors propose a regularization technique that randomly drops base model predictions during training to promote diversity within the ensemble and reduce overfitting. The approach is demonstrated to be effective in improving generalization capabilities and achieving competitive results compared to strong baselines in computer vision, natural language processing, and tabular data.

This paper studies how to make machine learning models work better together by combining multiple predictions from different models. Currently, this process often assumes all the models are equally good at making predictions. But what if some models are really bad? The authors suggest using special types of neural networks that can adaptively combine predictions and drop any predictions that aren’t very helpful. This helps to avoid problems like overfitting and makes the combined predictions more reliable.
