CatBoost support #46

Closed iFe1er closed 6 years ago

iFe1er commented 6 years ago

CatBoost (https://tech.yandex.com/catboost/) is a very powerful LGBM tools for machine learning.

I hope someone can add this tool to the StackNet.

Hi there, I believe you can use CatBoost in StackNet provided it's installed in your python environment. You can then call CatBoost inside python generic model . Also you can have a look at issue #40 for further info. Hope this helps.

@iFe1er I am aware of the tool and I like it. However the way StackNet is structured , it expects an algorithm to be be able to support sparse and dense representation of the data. CatBooost currently supports only dense data](https://github.com/catboost/catboost/issues/1) .

I will officially add it when this changes. Otherwise as @goldentom42 suggested, you can run it using the python generic model.

@kaz-Anova @goldentom42 Thank you guys for the quick and professional reply! I will try python generic model. Closing the issue now. THANKS AGAIN!
