- Use numpy stack for handling list of arrays.
- Reuse concat function from dask.
- Prepare for `QuantileDMatrix`.
- Remove unused code.
- Use iterator for prediction to avoid initializing xgboost model
* [PySpark] change the returning model type to string from binary
XGBoost pyspark can be can be accelerated by RAPIDS Accelerator seamlessly by
changing the returning model type from binary to string.
Support adaptive tree, a feature supported by both sklearn and lightgbm. The tree leaf is recomputed based on residue of labels and predictions after construction.
For l1 error, the optimal value is the median (50 percentile).
This is marked as experimental support for the following reasons:
- The value is not well defined for distributed training, where we might have empty leaves for local workers. Right now I just use the original leaf value for computing the average with other workers, which might cause significant errors.
- Some follow-ups are required, for exact, pruner, and optimization for quantile function. Also, we need to calculate the initial estimation.
* Skip non-increasing test with external memory when subsample is used.
* Increase bin numbers for boost from prediction test. This mitigates the effect of
non-deterministic partitioning.
* Generate column matrix from gHistIndex.
* Avoid synchronization with the sparse page once the cache is written.
* Cleanups: Remove member variables/functions, change the update routine to look like approx and gpu_hist.
* Remove pruner.
* Extract partitioner from hist.
* Implement categorical data support by passing the gradient index directly into the partitioner.
* Organize/update document.
* Remove code for negative hessian.
* Cleanup some pylint errors.
* Cleanup pylint errors in rabit modules.
* Make data iter an abstract class and cleanup private access.
* Cleanup no-self-use for booster.
* Implement `MaxCategory` in quantile.
* Implement partition-based split for GPU evaluation. Currently, it's based on the existing evaluation function.
* Extract an evaluator from GPU Hist to store the needed states.
* Added some CUDA stream/event utilities.
* Update document with references.
* Fixed a bug in approx evaluator where the number of data points is less than the number of categories.
* Replace all uses of deprecated function sklearn.datasets.load_boston
* More renaming
* Fix bad name
* Update assertion
* Fix n boosted rounds.
* Avoid over regularization.
* Rebase.
* Avoid over regularization.
* Whac-a-mole
