- 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.
* Fix CPU bin compression with categorical data.
* The bug causes the maximum category to be lesser than 256 or the maximum number of bins when
the input data is dense.
* Support null value in CUDA array interface.
- Fix for potential null value in array interface.
- Fix incorrect check on mask stride.
* Simple tests.
* Extract mask.
* Prepare for improving Windows networking compatibility.
* Include dmlc filesystem indirectly as dmlc/filesystem.h includes windows.h, which
conflicts with winsock2.h
* Define `NOMINMAX` conditionally.
* Link the winsock library when mysys32 is used.
* Add config file for read the doc.
* Pass sparse page as adapter, which prepares for quantile dmatrix.
* Remove old external memory code like `rbegin` and extra `Init` function.
* Simplify type dispatch.
* Use the name `Context`.
* Pass a context object into `SetInfo`.
* Add context to proxy matrix.
* Add context to iterative DMatrix.
This is to remove the use of the default number of threads during `SetInfo` as a follow-up on
removing the global omp variable while preparing for CUDA stream semantic. Currently, XGBoost
uses the legacy CUDA stream, we will gradually remove them in the future in favor of non-blocking streams.
* 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.
Fix some tests to run in a temporary directory in case the root
directory is not writable. Note that most of tests are already
running in the temporary directory, so this PR just make them
consistent.
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.
* 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.
