Gradient Boosting Essentials

Why boosted trees win competitions.

Learning From Mistakes

Gradient boosting builds trees one after another, each new tree fixing the errors the last ones left behind. 🚀

Boosting vs Bagging

A forest builds trees in parallel and votes. Boosting builds them in sequence, so each tree depends on the ones before it.
