Our new classification algorithm outperforms CatBoost, XGBoost, LightGBM on five benchmark datasets, on accuracy and response time
Hi All!We’re happy to shareLinearBoost, our latest development in machine learning classification algorithms. LinearBoost is based on boosting a linear classifier to significantly enhance performance. Our testing shows it outperforms traditional GBDT algorithms in terms of accuracy and response time across five well-known datasets.The key to LinearBoost’s enhanced performance lies in its approach at each estimator stage. Unlike decision trees used in GBDTs, which select features sequentially, LinearBoost utilizes a linear classifier as its building block, considering all available features simultaneously. This comprehensive feature integration allows for more robust decision-making processes at every step.We believe LinearBoost can be a valuable tool for both academic research and real-world applications. Check out our results and code in our GitHub repo:GitHub - LinearBoost/linearboost-classifier: LinearBoost Classifier is a rapid and accurate classification algorithm that builds upon a very fast, linear classifier.We’d love to get your feedback and suggestions for further improvements!
