What is model ensembling via stacking?

Updated May 17, 2026

Short answer

Stacking combines multiple models using a meta-model to improve predictions.

Deep explanation

Stacking trains multiple base learners and then uses their predictions as inputs to a higher-level model called a meta-learner. Unlike bagging or boosting, stacking learns how to best combine different models. It leverages diversity among models to improve accuracy and robustness.
