XGBoost (eXtreme Gradient Boosting) is a scalable, end-to-end, tree-boosting system that has produced state-of-the-art results on many machine learning challenges.

Dr. James McCaffrey from Microsoft Research presents a C# program that illustrates using the AdaBoost algorithm to perform binary classification for spam detection. Compared to other classification ...

Machine learning uses algorithms to turn a data set into a model that can identify patterns or make predictions from new data. Which algorithm works best depends on the problem.

It is “based on a proprietary algorithm for constructing models that differs from the standard gradient-boosting scheme.” ...
