Understanding the XGBoost Algorithm

Understanding the XGBoost Algorithm

XGBoost (eXtreme Gradient Boosting) has become quite popular in various competitions in recent years due to its excellent predictive performance. Below, we will introduce its principles. Principle First, we need to understand that XGBoost is an improvement of the GBDT algorithm. During the k-th iteration, the loss function of GBDT can be denoted as L(y,F[k](x)). … Read more

Intelligent Prediction of Loose Circles in Deep Tunnels Based on Improved XGBoost Algorithm

Intelligent Prediction of Loose Circles in Deep Tunnels Based on Improved XGBoost Algorithm

Introduction Since the beginning of the 21st century, with the rapid development of the social economy, the demand for resources has continued to increase. However, shallow mineral resources are increasingly depleted, forcing mining work to shift underground. After blasting and excavating deep tunnels, the surrounding rock inevitably produces a loose circle due to the coupling … Read more

Is XGBoost Stronger Than Deep Learning?

Why are tree-based machine learning methods, such as XGBoost and random forests, superior to deep learning on tabular data? This article provides reasons behind this phenomenon, selecting 45 open datasets and defining a new benchmark to compare tree-based models with deep models, summarizing three reasons to explain this phenomenon. Deep learning has made significant progress … Read more

XGBoost Hyperparameter Tuning Guide

XGBoost Hyperparameter Tuning Guide

This article will explain in detail the introduction, functionality, and value ranges of the ten most commonly used hyperparameters in XGBoost, and how to use Optuna for hyperparameter tuning. For XGBoost, the default hyperparameters work fine, but if you want to achieve the best performance, you need to adjust some hyperparameters to match your data. … Read more

Comparison of Boosting Algorithms: AdaBoost, CatBoost, LightGBM, XGBoost

Boosting algorithms are a class of machine learning algorithms that build a strong classifier by iteratively training a series of weak classifiers (usually decision trees). In each round of iteration, the new classifier is designed to correct the errors of the previous classifier, thus gradually improving the overall classification performance. Despite the rise and popularity … Read more
