BTM VS LightGBM

For brief description you can refer to the BTM repo. If you want to go into detail just read the paper on BTM which is also linked there. Otherwise i strongly suggest you to keep things tidy/stick with tidytext.

SIRUS.jl is a pure Julia implementation of the SIRUS algorithm by Bénard et al. (2021). The algorithm is a rule-based machine learning model meaning that it is fully interpretable. The algorithm does this by firstly fitting a random forests and then converting this forest to rules. Furthermore, the algorithm is stable and achieves a predictive performance that is comparable to LightGBM, a state-of-the-art gradient boosting model created by Microsoft. Interpretability, stability, and predictive performance are described in more detail below.

Hey, thanks everybody for your answers. I've asked around in the XGBoost and LightGBM repos and some folks there also agreed that memory speed will be a bottleneck yes.

LightBGM seems to have C API support, and C++ example in the main repo

LGBM doesn't do RF well, but it's easy to manually bag single LGBM trees.

LightGBM is a popular and high-performance open-source implementation of the Gradient Boosting Decision Tree (GBDT). To learn how to use this algorithm, please see example notebooks for Classification and Regression.

Here are our benchmarks on training time comparing Tangram's Gradient Boosted Decision Tree Library to LightGBM, XGBoost, CatBoost, and sklearn.

{ inputs = { nixpkgs = { url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable"; }; flake-utils = { url = "github:numtide/flake-utils"; }; }; outputs = { nixpkgs, flake-utils, ... }: flake-utils.lib.eachDefaultSystem (system: let pkgs = import nixpkgs { inherit system; }; lightgbm-cli = (with pkgs; stdenv.mkDerivation { pname = "lightgbm-cli"; version = "3.3.1"; src = fetchgit { url = "https://github.com/microsoft/LightGBM"; rev = "v3.3.1"; sha256 = "pBrsey0RpxxvlwSKrOJEBQp7Hd9Yzr5w5OdUuyFpgF8="; fetchSubmodules = true; }; nativeBuildInputs = [ clang cmake ]; buildPhase = "make -j $NIX_BUILD_CORES"; installPhase = '' mkdir -p $out/bin mv $TMP/LightGBM/lightgbm $out/bin ''; } ); in rec { defaultApp = flake-utils.lib.mkApp { drv = defaultPackage; }; defaultPackage = lightgbm-cli; devShell = pkgs.mkShell { buildInputs = with pkgs; [ lightgbm-cli ]; }; } ); }

I'm working on the AutoML python package (Github repo). In my package, I'm using many different algorithms. One of the algorithms is LightGBM. The algorithm after the training doesn't release the memory, even if del is called and gc.collect() after. I created the issue on LightGBM GitHub -> link. Because of this leak, memory consumption is growing very fast during algorithm training.
