what is released
components of the release
- Hetero SecureBoost: more efficient computation with GOSS, histogram subtraction, cipher compression, 2-4x faster
- Hetero GLM: improved communication efficiency, adjustable floating point precision, 2x faster
- Hetero NN: adjustable floating point precision, support SelectiveBackPropagation and dropOut on interaction layer, 2x faster
- Hetero Feature Binning: improved algorithm with cipher compression, 2x faster
- Intersect: add split calculation option and adjustable random base fraction, 30% faster
- Homo NN: restructure torch backend and enhanced grammar; train and predict with raw image data
- Intersect supports SM3 hashing method
- Hetero SecureBoost: L1 penalty & adjustable min_child_weight to prevent overfitting
- NEW SecureBoost Transformer: feature engineering module that encodes instances with leaf nodes from SecureBoost model
- Hetero Pearson: support local VIF computation
- Hetero Feature Selection: support selection based on VIF and Pearson
- NEW Homo Feature Binning: support virtual/recursive binning strategy
- NEW Sample Weight: set sample weights based on label or from feature column, Hetero GLM & Hetero SecureBoost support weighted training
- NEW Data Transformer: case-insensitive on data schema
- Local Baseline supports prediction task
- Cross Validation: output fold split history
- Evaluation: add multi-result-unfold option which unfolds multi-classification evaluation result to several binary evaluation results in a one-vs-rest manner
