    Cat Boost Algorithms Table Of Contents: What is the CatBoost Algorithm? Features Of CatBoost Algorithm. Is tuning required in CatBoost? When and When Not to Use CatBoost (1) What Is The Cat Boost Algorithm? The term CatBoost is an acronym that stands for “Category” and “Boosting.” Does this mean the “Category’ in CatBoost means it only works for categorical features? The answer is, “No.” According to the CatBoost documentation, CatBoost supports numerical, categorical, and text features but has a good handling technique for categorical data.  The CatBoost algorithm has quite a number of parameters to tune the features in the processing stage. “Boosting” in CatBoost refers to

    Light Gradient Boosting Table Of Contents: What Is a Light Gradient Boosting Algorithm? Key Features Of Light GBM. (1) Light Gradient Boosting. LightGBM is another popular gradient-boosting framework that is known for its excellent performance and efficiency. It is designed to be a faster and more memory-efficient implementation compared to traditional gradient-boosting algorithms like XGBoost. LightGBM introduces several key optimizations to achieve these improvements. (2) Key Features Of Light GBM. Gradient-based One-Side Sampling (GOSS): LightGBM incorporates a technique called Gradient-based One-Side Sampling (GOSS) to reduce the number of data instances used for gradient-based decision-making. GOSS focuses on keeping the instances

    Gradient Boosting Algorithm Table Of Contents: Introduction What Is the Gradient Boosting Machine Algorithm? How Does Gradient Boosting Machine Algorithm Work? Example Of Gradient Boosting Algorithm. (1) Introduction: The principle behind boosting algorithms is first we build a model on the training dataset, then a second model is built to rectify the errors present in the first model. Let me try to explain to you what exactly this means and how this works. Suppose you have n data points and 2 output classes (0 and 1). You want to create a model to detect the class of the test data. Now what
