From [the docs]:

"Boosting" is a machine learning ensemble meta-algorithm for primarily reducing bias, and also variance in supervised learning, and a family of machine learning algorithms that convert weak learners to strong ones.

Also:

From the docs:

Boosting is the process of enhancing the relevancy of a document or field. Field level mapping allows to define an explicit boost level on a specific field. The boost field mapping (applied on the root object) allows to define a boost field mapping where its content will control the boost level of the document.
