Understanding a powerful algorithm through a radical perspective shift
(Photo by Tom Gainor from Unsplash)Gradient boosting is both ubiquitously used and ubiquitously underappreciated.
When discussing its effectiveness, people usually default to two perspectives:
- Gradient boosting starts with low variance and high bias, and looks to decrease bias by adding more weak learners
- Gradient boosting approximates “gradient descent” in a function space, and looks to minimize the loss in this space
Both of these perspectives are interesting and highly …
