XGBoost: Reliable Large-scale Tree Boosting System
نویسنده
چکیده
Tree boosting is an important type of machine learning algorithms that is widely used in practice. In this paper, we describe XGBoost, a reliable, distributed machine learning system to scale up tree boosting algorithms. The system is optimized for fast parallel tree construction, and designed to be fault tolerant under the distributed setting. XGBoost can handle tens of millions of samples on a single node, and scales beyond billions of samples with distributed computing.

Computer-aided diagnosis of lung nodule using gradient tree boosting and Bayesian optimization
We aimed to evaluate computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) system for lung nodule classification focusing on (i) usefulness of gradient tree boosting (XGBoost) and (ii) effectiveness of parameter optimization using Bayesian optimization (Tree Parzen Estimator, TPE) and random search. 99 lung nodules (62 lung cancers and 37 benign lung nodules) were included from public databases of CT images. A varia...
متن کاملAccelerating the XGBoost algorithm using GPU computing
We present a CUDA-based implementation of a decision tree construction algorithm within the gradient boosting library XGBoost. The tree construction algorithm is executed entirely on the graphics processing unit (GPU) and shows high performance with a variety of datasets and settings, including sparse input matrices. Individual boosting iterations are parallelised, combining two approaches. An ...
