CatBoost swMATH ID: 31560 Software Authors: Anna Veronika Dorogush, Vasily Ershov, Andrey Gulin Description: CatBoost: gradient boosting with categorical features support. In this paper we present CatBoost, a new open-sourced gradient boosting library that successfully handles categorical features and outperforms existing publicly available implementations of gradient boosting in terms of quality on a set of popular publicly available datasets. The library has a GPU implementation of learning algorithm and a CPU implementation of scoring algorithm, which are significantly faster than other gradient boosting libraries on ensembles of similar sizes.
