It works by selecting different subsets of the data, or different combinations of the hypothesis, and combining the results of each prediction in order to create a single, more accurate result. This is useful in situations where different hypothesis may be accurate in different parts of the data, or where a single hypothesis may not be accurate in all cases. Ensemble learning is used in a variety of applications, from computer vision to natural language processing.

B seems more like something for neural networks, not ensemble learning. A is the way to go, in my opinion.

I'm not sure, but I think ensemble learning methods use stochastic gradient descent to optimise a network.

I'm picturing a mad scientist in a lab, extracting 'ergodic solutions' like some kind of mad scientist. Option A is my pick.

I think D is also important because it allows testing multiple hypotheses at once.

I'm not sure about 'ergodic solutions' in option C. Sounds like a bunch of fancy words to confuse us. I'm leaning towards A.
