XGBoost: A Scalable Tree Boosting System
xgboost : A Scalable tree Boosting SystemTianqi ChenUniversity of GuestrinUniversity of Boosting is a highly effective and widely used machinelearning method. In this paper, we describe a Scalable end-to-end tree Boosting System called xgboost , which is usedwidely by data scientists to achieve state-of-the-art resultson many machine learning challenges. We propose a novelsparsity-aware algorithm for sparse data and weighted quan-tile sketch for approximate tree learning. More importantly,we provide insights on cache access patterns, data compres-sion and sharding to build a Scalable tree Boosting combining these insights, xgboost scales beyond billionsof examples using far fewer resources than existing Concepts Methodologies Machine learning; Informationsystems Data mining;KeywordsLarge-scale Machine Learning1. INTRODUCTIONM achine learning and data-driven approaches are becom-ing very important in many areas. Smart spam classifiersprotect our email by learning from massive amounts of spamdata and user feedback; advertising systems learn to matchthe right ads with the right context; fraud detection systemsprotect banks from malicious attackers; anomaly event de-tection systems help experimental physicists to find eventsthat lead to new physics.
gradient tree boosting. 2.2 Gradient Tree Boosting The tree ensemble model in Eq. (2) includes functions as parameters and cannot be optimized using traditional opti-mization methods in Euclidean space. Instead, the model is trained in an additive manner. Formally, let ^y(t) i be the prediction of the i-th instance at the t-th iteration, we ...
