LightGBM or Light Gradient Boosting Machine is a high-performance, open source gradient boosting framework based on decision tree algorithms. Compared to other boosting frameworks, LightGBM offers several advantages in terms of speed, efficiency and accuracy. Parallel experiments have shown that LightGBM can attain linear speed-up through multiple machines for training in specific settings, all while consuming less memory.
LightGBM supports parallel and GPU learning, and can handle large-scale data. It’s become widely-used for ranking, classification and many other machine learning tasks.
