Top 5 C++ gradient-boosting Projects

LightGBM

11 16,043 9.2 C++

A fast, distributed, high performance gradient boosting (GBT, GBDT, GBRT, GBM or MART) framework based on decision tree algorithms, used for ranking, classification and many other machine learning tasks.

Project mention: SIRUS.jl: Interpretable Machine Learning via Rule Extraction | /r/Julia | 2023-06-29

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.
