Second, Yandex is offering the CatBoost library as a free service, released under an Apache license, to any and all who need or want to use gradient-boosting tech in their own programs.

This article investigates a computationally simple variant of boosting, L₂Boost, which is constructed from a functional gradient descent algorithm with the L₂-loss function. Like other boosting ...

Learn how gradient descent really works by building it step by step in Python. No libraries, no shortcuts—just pure math and code made simple.
