This PR prepares the GHistIndexMatrix to host the column matrix which is used by the hist tree method by accepting sparse_threshold parameter.
Some cleanups are made to ensure the correct batch param is being passed into DMatrix along with some additional tests for correctness of SimpleDMatrix.
This is the one last PR for removing omp global variable.
* Add context object to the `DMatrix`. This bridges `DMatrix` with https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost/issues/7308 .
* Require context to be available at the construction time of booster.
* Add `n_threads` support for R csc DMatrix constructor.
* Remove `omp_get_max_threads` in R glue code.
* Remove threading utilities that rely on omp global variable.
* Add num target model parameter, which is configured from input labels.
* Change elementwise metric and indexing for weights.
* Add demo.
* Add tests.
* Add a new ctor to tensor for `initilizer_list`.
* Change labels from host device vector to tensor.
* Rename the field from `labels_` to `labels` since it's a public member.
This PR changes base_margin into a 3-dim array, with one of them being reserved for multi-target classification. Also, a breaking change is made for binary serialization due to extra dimension along with a fix for saving the feature weights. Lastly, it unifies the prediction initialization between CPU and GPU. After this PR, the meta info setter in Python will be based on array interface.
* Extend array interface to handle ndarray.
The `ArrayInterface` class is extended to support multi-dim array inputs. Previously this
class handles only 2-dim (vector is also matrix). This PR specifies the expected
dimension at compile-time and the array interface can perform various checks automatically
for input data. Also, adapters like CSR are more rigorous about their input. Lastly, row
vector and column vector are handled without intervention from the caller.
This is already partially supported but never properly tested. So the only possible way to use it is calling `numpy.ndarray.flatten` with `base_margin` before passing it into XGBoost. This PR adds proper support
for most of the data types along with tests.
* Support more input types for categorical data.
* Shorten the type name from "categorical" to "c".
* Tests for np/cp array and scipy csr/csc/coo.
* Specify the type for feature info.
* Add hessian to batch param in preparation of new approx impl.
* Extract a push method for gradient index matrix.
* Use span instead of vector ref for hessian in sketching.
* Create a binary format for gradient index.
* Work around a segfault observed in SparsePage::Push()
* Revert "Work around a segfault observed in SparsePage::Push()"
This reverts commit 30934844d00908750a5442082eb4769b1489f6a9.
* Don't call vector::resize() inside OpenMP block
* Set GITHUB_PAT env var to fix R tests
* Use built-in GITHUB_TOKEN
* Use type aliases for discard iterators
* update to include host_vector as thrust 1.12 doesn't bring it in as a side-effect
* cub::DispatchRadixSort requires signed offset types
- Reduce dependency on dmlc parsers and provide an interface for users to load data by themselves.
- Remove use of threaded iterator and IO queue.
- Remove `page_size`.
- Make sure the number of pages in memory is bounded.
- Make sure the cache can not be violated.
- Provide an interface for internal algorithms to process data asynchronously.
* Support categorical data for dask functional interface and DQM.
* Implement categorical data support for GPU GK-merge.
* Add support for dask functional interface.
* Add support for DQM.
* Get newer cupy.
* Change C API name.
* Test for all primitive types from array.
* Add native support for CPU 128 float.
* Convert boolean and float16 in Python.
* Fix dask version for now.
* Re-implement ROC-AUC.
* Binary
* MultiClass
* LTR
* Add documents.
This PR resolves a few issues:
- Define a value when the dataset is invalid, which can happen if there's an
empty dataset, or when the dataset contains only positive or negative values.
- Define ROC-AUC for multi-class classification.
- Define weighted average value for distributed setting.
- A correct implementation for learning to rank task. Previous
implementation is just binary classification with averaging across groups,
which doesn't measure ordered learning to rank.
