Re: XGBoost4J: Portable Distributed XGboost in Flink

2016-03-15 Thread Christophe Salperwyck
Hi,

The paper compares the performance between your XGBoost and the Spark MLlib
version. It would be nice to see how it scales when using Spark or Flink as
an engine and also compare it to your native distributed version (with
rabit, right?).

If you have some charts, they are welcome :-)

BTW, where did you submit this paper (if not confidential of course)?

Thanks!
Christophe

Great to hear Tianqi :-) I will try it out.

Cheers,

XGBoost4J: Portable Distributed XGboost in Flink

2016-03-14 Thread Tianqi Chen
Hi Flink Community:
I am sending this email to let you know we just release XGBoost4J which
also runs on Flink. In short, XGBoost is a machine learning package that is
used by more than half of the machine challenge winning solutions and is
already widely used in industry. The distributed version scale to billion
examples(10x faster than spark.mllib in the experiment) with fewer
resources (see .http://arxiv.org/abs/1603.02754)

   See our blogpost for more details

 We
would love to have you try it out and helo us to make it better.

Cheers
