* [coll] Implement a new tracker and a communicator.
The new tracker and communicators communicate through the use of JSON documents. Along
with which, communicators are aware of each other.
- Use the `linalg::Matrix` for storing gradients.
- New API for the custom objective.
- Custom objective for multi-class/multi-target is now required to return the correct shape.
- Custom objective for Python can accept arrays with any strides. (row-major, column-major)
- Save the updater sequence as an array instead of object.
- Warn only once.
The compatibility is kept, but we should be able to break it as the config is not loaded
in pickle model and it's declared to be not stable.
- Rework the precision metric for both CPU and GPU.
- Mention it in the document.
- Cleanup old support code for GPU ranking metric.
- Deterministic GPU implementation.
* Drop support for classification.
* type.
* use batch shape.
* lint.
* cpu build.
* cpu build.
* lint.
* Tests.
* Fix.
* Cleanup error message.
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.
- Define a new tree struct embedded in the `RegTree`.
- Provide dispatching functions in `RegTree`.
- Fix some c++-17 warnings about the use of nodiscard (currently we disable the warning on
the CI).
- Use uint32_t instead of size_t for `bst_target_t` as it has a defined size and can be used
as part of dmlc parameter.
- Hide the `Segment` struct inside the categorical split matrix.
* Update to C++17
* Turn off unity build
* Update CMake to 3.18
* Use MSVC 2022 + CUDA 11.8
* Re-create stack for worker images
* Allocate more disk space for Windows
* Tempiorarily disable clang-tidy
* RAPIDS now requires Python 3.10+
* Unpin cuda-python
* Use latest NCCL
* Use Ubuntu 20.04 in RMM image
* Mark failing mgpu test as xfail
* Use array interface for CSC matrix.
Use array interface for CSC matrix and align the interface with CSR and dense.
- Fix nthread issue in the R package DMatrix.
- Unify the behavior of handling `missing` with other inputs.
- Unify the behavior of handling `missing` around R, Python, Java, and Scala DMatrix.
- Expose `num_non_missing` to the JVM interface.
- Deprecate old CSR and CSC constructors.
