Hector Yee commented on SPARK-1547: ----------------------------------- Just generic log loss with L1 regularization should suffice. Most of the work is in feature engineering anyway. It is no hurry at all, I already have several implementations not in MLLib that I am using. It would just be convenient to have another implementation to compare against. > Add gradient boosting algorithm to MLlib > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: SPARK-1547 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-1547 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: MLlib > Affects Versions: 1.0.0 > Reporter: Manish Amde > Assignee: Manish Amde > > This task requires adding the gradient boosting algorithm to Spark MLlib. The > implementation needs to adapt the gradient boosting algorithm to the scalable > tree implementation. > The tasks involves: > - Comparing the various tradeoffs and finalizing the algorithm before > implementation > - Code implementation > - Unit tests > - Functional tests > - Performance tests > - Documentation -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
