Gradient Boosting

Gradient Boosting is another ensemble learning technique used for classification and regression tasks and has its own specific way of building the ensemble of weak learners. Here’s a brief overview of Gradient Boosting: Gradient Boosting typically produces more accurate models compared to AdaBoost but can be more computationally expensive and prone to overfitting, especially with…
