Remarks
To create this trainer, use LightGbm or LightGbm(Options).
Input and Output Columns
The input label column data must be key type and the feature column must be a known-sized vector of Single.
This trainer outputs the following columns:
Output Column Name | Column Type | Description |
---|---|---|
Score |
Vector of Single | The scores of all classes. Higher value means higher probability to fall into the associated class. If the i-th element has the largest value, the predicted label index would be i. Note that i is zero-based index. |
PredictedLabel |
key type | The predicted label's index. If its value is i, the actual label would be the i-th category in the key-valued input label type. |
Trainer Characteristics

Training Algorithm Details
LightGBM is an open source implementation of gradient boosting decision tree. For implementation details, please see LightGBM's official documentation or this paper.

Methods
Fit(IDataView) |
Trains and returns a ITransformer. (Inherited from TrainerEstimatorBase<TTransformer,TModel>) |
Fit(IDataView, IDataView) |
Trains a LightGbmMulticlassTrainer using both training and validation data, returns a MulticlassPredictionTransformer<TModel>. |
GetOutputSchema(SchemaShape) | (Inherited from TrainerEstimatorBase<TTransformer,TModel>) |
Extension Methods
AppendCacheCheckpoint<TTrans>(IEstimator<TTrans>, IHostEnvironment) |
Append a 'caching checkpoint' to the estimator chain. This will ensure that the downstream estimators will be trained against cached data. It is helpful to have a caching checkpoint before trainers that take multiple data passes. |
WithOnFitDelegate<TTransformer>(IEstimator<TTransformer>, Action<TTransformer>) |
Given an estimator, return a wrapping object that will call a delegate once Fit(IDataView) is called. It is often important for an estimator to return information about what was fit, which is why the Fit(IDataView) method returns a specifically typed object, rather than just a general ITransformer. However, at the same time, IEstimator<TTransformer> are often formed into pipelines with many objects, so we may need to build a chain of estimators via EstimatorChain<TLastTransformer> where the estimator for which we want to get the transformer is buried somewhere in this chain. For that scenario, we can through this method attach a delegate that will be called once fit is called. |
