Random Bits Forest

We present a classification and regression algorithm called Random Bits Forest (RBF). RBF integrates neural network (for depth), boosting (for wideness) and random forest (for accuracy). It first generates and selects ~10,000 small three-layer threshold random neural networks as basis by gradient boosting scheme. These binary basis are then feed into a modified random forest algorithm to obtain predictions. In conclusion, RBF is a novel framework that performs strongly especially on data with large size.
