Regularized Greedy Forest

Regularized Greedy Forest (RGF) is a tree ensemble machine learning method described in this paper. RGF can deliver better results than gradient boosted decision trees (GBDT) on a number of datasets and it has been used to win a few Kaggle competitions. Unlike the traditional boosted decision tree approach, RGF works directly with the underlying forest structure. RGF integrates two ideas: one is to include tree-structured regularization into the learning formulation; and the other is to employ the fully-corrective regularized greedy algorithm.

This repository contains the following implementations of the RGF algorithm:

  • RGF: original implementation from the paper;
  • FastRGF: multi-core implementation with some simplifications;
  • rgf_python: wrapper of both RGF and FastRGF implementations for Python;
  • R package: wrapper of rgf_python for R.

You may want to get interesting information about RGF from the posts collected in Awesome RGF.

  • Support wheels

    Support wheels

    Since rgf_python hasn't any special requirements (for compiler, environment, etc.), I think it good idea to have wheels on PyPI site (and the sources in .tar.gz, of course). I believe providing successfully compiled binaries will prevent many strange errors like recent ones.

    We need wheels for two platforms: first for macOS and Linux and second for Windows.

    The final result should be similar to this one: image

    But each wheel for each platform should have 32bit and 64bit version.

    Binaries we could get from Travis and Appveyor as artifacts (I can do this). The one problem I see now is that Travis hasn't 32bit machines, but I believe we'll overcome this problem 😃 .

    @fukatani When you'll have time, please search how to appropriate name wheels according to target platforms and how to post them at PyPI. Or I can do it more later.

    suggestion to integrate the R wrapper in the repository

    This issue is related with a previous one. A month ago I wrapped rgf_python using the reticulate package in R. It can be installed on Linux, and somehow cumbersome on Macintosh and Windows (on Windows currently it works only from the command prompt). I opened the issue as suggested by @fukatani

    Hi @fukatani ! Can you add more platforms (Windows, MacOS) to Travis? I don't know how, but it's possible 😄 : image [Screenshot from xgboost repo] Maybe it can help: https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost/blob/master/.travis.yml

    If there is a limitation to number of tests, maybe it's better to split Python version tests between platforms: Windows + 2.7, Linux + 3.4, MacOS + 3.5 (I think you understand me).

    Cannot import name 'RGFClassifier'

    I am having the above error. I have made rgf1.2 and have tested using rgf1.2's own perl test script. This works. I have installed rgf_python and run the python setup as specified. I have changed the two folder locations to rgf1.2..\rgf executable and a temp folder that exist.

    In python when I try to import I get the error Cannot import name 'RGFClassifier'. I tried to run the exact code in the test.py script provided in with rgf_python and this same error occurs.

    Hi there

    I'm trying to install rgf/fastrgf and use the python wrapper to launch the executables.

    I've installed using pip install rgf_python

    However when i import the rgf module i get a user warning

  • dump RGF and FastRGF to the JSON file

    dump RGF and FastRGF to the JSON file

    Initial support for dumping the RGF model is already implemented in #161. At present it's possible to print the model to the console. But it's good idea to bring the possibility of dumping the model to the file (e.g. JSON).

    @StrikerRUS:

    Really like new features introduced in this PR. But please think about "real dump" of a model. I suppose it'll be more useful than just printing to the console.

    @fukatani:

    For example dump in JSON format like lightGBM. It's convenient and we may support it in the future, but we should do it with another PR.

    Support f_ratio?

    I found not documented parameter f_ratio in RGF. This corresponding to LightGBM feature_fraction and XGB colsample_bytree.

    I tried these parameter with boston regression example. In small max_leaf(300), f_ratio=0.9 improves score to 11.0 from 11.8, but in many max_leaf(5000), f_ratio=0.95 degrared score to 10.34 from 10.19810.

    After all, is there no value to use f_ratio < 1.0?

    #Now, sklearn integration tests for FastRGFClassifier and FastRGFClassifier.

    FastRGF doesn't work well for small samples, that is reason for test failed. I doubt inside Fast RGF executable inside. I inspect Fast RGF by debugger, discretization boundaries are invalid.

    At least we should raise understandable error from RGF python if discretization failed.
