- static function in header. (which is marked as unused due to translation unit
visibility).
- Implicit copy operator is deprecated.
- Unused lambda capture.
- Moving a temporary variable prevents copy elision.
* Fix round-trip serialization with UTF-8 paths
* Add compiler version check
* Add comment to C API functions
* Add Python tests
* [CI] Updatre MacOS deployment target
* Use std::filesystem instead of dmlc::TemporaryDirectory
* Handle the new `device` parameter in dask and demos.
- Check no ordinal is specified in the dask interface.
- Update demos.
- Update dask doc.
- Update the condition for QDM.
- A `DeviceOrd` struct is implemented to indicate the device. It will eventually replace the `gpu_id` parameter.
- The `predictor` parameter is removed.
- Fallback to `DMatrix` when `inplace_predict` is not available.
- The heuristic for choosing a predictor is only used during training.
- Implement a simple `IterSpan` for passing iterators with size.
- Use shared memory for column size counts.
- Use one thread for each sample in row count to reduce atomic operations.
- Pass context from booster to DMatrix.
- Use context instead of integer for `n_threads`.
- Check the consistency configuration for `max_bin`.
- Test for all combinations of initialization options.
Previously, we use `libsvm` as default when format is not specified. However, the dmlc
data parser is not particularly robust against errors, and the most common type of error
is undefined format.
Along with which, we will recommend users to use other data loader instead. We will
continue the maintenance of the parsers as it's currently used for many internal tests
including federated learning.
Added some more tests for the learner and fit_stump, for both column-wise distributed learning and vertical federated learning.
Also moved the `IsRowSplit` and `IsColumnSplit` methods from the `DMatrix` to the `MetaInfo` since in some places we only have access to the `MetaInfo`. Added a new convenience method `IsVerticalFederatedLearning`.
Some refactoring of the testing fixtures.
- Fix prediction range.
- Support prediction cache in mt-hist.
- Support model slicing.
- Make the booster a Python iterable by defining `__iter__`.
- Cleanup removed/deprecated parameters.
- A new field in the output model `iteration_indptr` for pointing to the ranges of trees for each iteration.
* Implement multi-target for hist.
- Add new hist tree builder.
- Move data fetchers for tests.
- Dispatch function calls in gbm base on the tree type.
* Make tree model param a private member.
* Number of features and targets are immutable after construction.
This is to reduce the number of places where we can run configuration.
- Pass obj info into tree updater as const pointer.
This way we don't have to initialize the learner model param before configuring gbm, hence
breaking up the dependency of configurations.
- Define a new tree struct embedded in the `RegTree`.
- Provide dispatching functions in `RegTree`.
- Fix some c++-17 warnings about the use of nodiscard (currently we disable the warning on
the CI).
- Use uint32_t instead of size_t for `bst_target_t` as it has a defined size and can be used
as part of dmlc parameter.
- Hide the `Segment` struct inside the categorical split matrix.
