 The support vector machine and boosting are widely used tools for 
  
predicting or classifying noisy data.  The ideas were introduced by Vapnik 
  
(1995) and Freund & Schapire (1996).  These two methods have attracted a 
  
lot of attention due to their great success in data modeling tasks.  They 
  
are now being applied to medical diagnosis, bioinformatics and genetic 
  
modeling, chemical process control, shape, handwriting, speech and face 
  
recognition, financial modeling, and a wide range of other important 
  
practical problems.  In this talk, I will give a tutorial on these two 
  
methods (together with some of our contributions), from the point of view 
  
of a statistician.
