XGBoost4J: Portable Distributed XGBoost in Spark, Flink and Dataflow

XGBoost is a library designed and optimized for tree boosting. Gradient boosting trees model is originally proposed by Friedman et al. By embracing multi-threads and introducing regularization, XGBoost delivers higher computational power and more accurate prediction. More than half of the winning solutions in machine learning challenges hosted at Kaggle adopt XGBoost (Incomplete list). XGBoost has provided native interfaces for C, R, python, Julia and Java users.
