* Use pre-rounding based method to obtain reproducible floating point
summation.
* GPU Hist for regression and classification are bit-by-bit reproducible.
* Add doc.
* Switch to thrust reduce for `node_sum_gradient`.
* Fix syncing DMatrix columns.
* notes for tree method.
* Enable feature validation for all interfaces except for jvm.
* Better tests for boosting from predictions.
* Disable validation on JVM.
* Pass pointer to model parameters.
This PR de-duplicates most of the model parameters except the one in
`tree_model.h`. One difficulty is `base_score` is a model property but can be
changed at runtime by objective function. Hence when performing model IO, we
need to save the one provided by users, instead of the one transformed by
objective. Here we created an immutable version of `LearnerModelParam` that
represents the value of model parameter after configuration.
* Extract interaction constraints from split evaluator.
The reason for doing so is mostly for model IO, where num_feature and interaction_constraints are copied in split evaluator. Also interaction constraint by itself is a feature selector, acting like column sampler and it's inefficient to bury it deep in the evaluator chain. Lastly removing one another copied parameter is a win.
* Enable inc for approx tree method.
As now the implementation is spited up from evaluator class, it's also enabled for approx method.
* Removing obsoleted code in colmaker.
They are never documented nor actually used in real world. Also there isn't a single test for those code blocks.
* Unifying the types used for row and column.
As the size of input dataset is marching to billion, incorrect use of int is subject to overflow, also singed integer overflow is undefined behaviour. This PR starts the procedure for unifying used index type to unsigned integers. There's optimization that can utilize this undefined behaviour, but after some testings I don't see the optimization is beneficial to XGBoost.
This makes GPU Hist robust in distributed environment as some workers might not
be associated with any data in either training or evaluation.
* Disable rabit mock test for now: See #5012 .
* Disable dask-cudf test at prediction for now: See #5003
* Launch dask job for all workers despite they might not have any data.
* Check 0 rows in elementwise evaluation metrics.
Using AUC and AUC-PR still throws an error. See #4663 for a robust fix.
* Add tests for edge cases.
* Add `LaunchKernel` wrapper handling zero sized grid.
* Move some parts of allreducer into a cu file.
* Don't validate feature names when the booster is empty.
* Sync number of columns in DMatrix.
As num_feature is required to be the same across all workers in data split
mode.
* Filtering in dask interface now by default syncs all booster that's not
empty, instead of using rank 0.
* Fix Jenkins' GPU tests.
* Install dask-cuda from source in Jenkins' test.
Now all tests are actually running.
* Restore GPU Hist tree synchronization test.
* Check UUID of running devices.
The check is only performed on CUDA version >= 10.x, as 9.x doesn't have UUID field.
* Fix CMake policy and project variables.
Use xgboost_SOURCE_DIR uniformly, add policy for CMake >= 3.13.
* Fix copying data to CPU
* Fix race condition in cpu predictor.
* Fix duplicated DMatrix construction.
* Don't download extra nccl in CI script.
* Use `UpdateAllowUnknown' for non-model related parameter.
Model parameter can not pack an additional boolean value due to binary IO
format. This commit deals only with non-model related parameter configuration.
* Add tidy command line arg for use-dmlc-gtest.
* - pairwise ranking objective implementation on gpu
- there are couple of more algorithms (ndcg and map) for which support will be added
as follow-up pr's
- with no label groups defined, get gradient is 90x faster on gpu (120m instance
mortgage dataset)
- it can perform by an order of magnitude faster with ~ 10 groups (and adequate cores
for the cpu implementation)
* Add JSON config to rank obj.
* Apply Configurable to objective functions.
* Apply Model to Learner and Regtree, gbm.
* Add Load/SaveConfig to objs.
* Refactor obj tests to use smart pointer.
* Dummy methods for Save/Load Model.
* Move get transpose into cc.
* Clean up headers in host device vector, remove thrust dependency.
* Move span and host device vector into public.
* Install c++ headers.
* Short notes for c and c++.
