Gradient Boost: Sequential Model Explanation
In machine learning, Gradient Boost is a powerful sequential model that
is used to make predictions. It is based on the concept of boosting, which
involves combining multiple weak models to create a strong model.
Gradient Boost Sequential Model
In Gradient Boost, the model is built in a sequential manner, where each
new model is trained to correct the errors made by the previous model.
This process is repeated until a certain number of models have been
created or until the model's performance on a validation set stops
improving.
The sequential nature of Gradient Boost allows it to capture complex
patterns and relationships in the data, resulting in more accurate
predictions.
Gradient Boost vs. Ada Boost
Gradient Boost is similar to another boosting algorithm called Ada Boost
(Adaptive Boosting). However, there are some key differences between
the two:
Gradient Boost uses a gradient descent algorithm to minimize the
loss function, whereas Ada Boost uses a weighted voting scheme.
Gradient Boost allows for the use of arbitrary differentiable loss
functions, whereas Ada Boost is limited to specific loss functions such
as the exponential loss.
