- 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.
* Create pyproject.toml
* Implement a custom build backend (see below) in packager directory. Build logic from setup.py has been refactored and migrated into the new backend.
* Tested: pip wheel . (build wheel), python -m build --sdist . (source distribution)
* Fix tests with pandas 2.0.
- `is_categorical` is replaced by `is_categorical_dtype`.
- one hot encoding returns boolean type instead of integer type.
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.
- Remove parameter serialization in the scikit-learn interface.
The scikit-lear interface `save_model` will save only the model and discard all
hyper-parameters. This is to align with the native XGBoost interface, which distinguishes
the hyper-parameter and model parameters.
With the scikit-learn interface, model parameters are attributes of the estimator. For
instance, `n_features_in_`, `n_classes_` are always accessible with
`estimator.n_features_in_` and `estimator.n_classes_`, but not with the
`estimator.get_params`.
- Define a `load_model` method for classifier to load its own attributes.
- Set n_estimators to None by default.
* 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.
- The new implementation is more strict as only binary labels are accepted. The previous implementation converts values greater than 1 to 1.
- Deterministic GPU. (no atomic add).
- Fix top-k handling.
- Precise definition of MAP. (There are other variants on how to handle top-k).
- Refactor GPU ranking tests.
