LightGBM, Light Gradient Boosting Machine LightGBM, Light Gradient Boosting Machine
========== ==========
LightGBM is a gradient boosting framework that using tree based learning algorithms. It is designed to be distributed and high performance, and has following advantages: LightGBM is a gradient boosting framework that using tree based learning algorithms. It is designed to be distributed and efficient with following advantages:
- Fast training speed - Fast training efficency
- Low memory consumption - Low memory usage
- Better accuracy - Better accuracy
- Efficient parallel learning - parallel learning supported
- Can learn from very big data - deal with large scale of data
For the details about these advantages, please refer to [Feature Highlight](https://github.com/Microsoft/LightGBM/wiki/Feature-Highlight). For the details, please refer to [Feature Highlights](https://github.com/Microsoft/LightGBM/wiki/Feature-Highlight).
The [experiments](https://github.com/Microsoft/LightGBM/wiki/Experiments#comparison-experiment) on real data also show LightGBM can outperform other existing boosting tools on both learning efficiency and accuracy, with much lower memory consumption. And LightGBM can achieve linear speed-up for parallel learning in our [experiments](https://github.com/Microsoft/LightGBM/wiki/Experiments#parallel-experiment). The [experiments](https://github.com/Microsoft/LightGBM/wiki/Experiments#comparison-experiment) on the public data also shows that LightGBM can outperform other existing boosting tools on both learning efficiency and accuracy, with significant lower memory consumption. What's more, the [experiments](https://github.com/Microsoft/LightGBM/wiki/Experiments#parallel-experiment) shows that LightGBM can achieve linear speed-up by using multiple machines for training in specific settings.
