General Purpose Gradient Boosting Library
Goal: A stand-alone efficient library to do learning via boosting in functional space
Planned key components:
(1) Gradient boosting models:
- regression tree
- linear model/lasso
(2) Objectives to support tasks:
- regression
- classification
- ranking
- matrix factorization
- structured prediction
(3) OpenMP implementation(optional)
File extension convention:
(1) .h are interface, utils and data structures, with detailed comment;
(2) .cpp are implementations that will be compiled, with less comment;
(3) .hpp are implementations that will be included by .cpp, with less comment
