LightGBM, Light Gradient Boosting Machine
=========================================
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/Microsoft/LightGBM.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/Microsoft/LightGBM)
[![Windows Build status](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/1ys5ot401m0fep6l/branch/master?svg=true)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/guolinke/lightgbm/branch/master)
[![Documentation Status](https://readthedocs.org/projects/lightgbm/badge/?version=latest)](http://lightgbm.readthedocs.io/)
[![PyPI version](https://badge.fury.io/py/lightgbm.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/py/lightgbm)
LightGBM is a gradient boosting framework that uses tree based learning algorithms. It is designed to be distributed and efficient with the following advantages:
- Faster training speed and higher efficiency
- Lower memory usage
- Better accuracy
- Parallel and GPU learning supported
- Capable of handling large-scale data
For more details, please refer to [Features](https://github.com/Microsoft/LightGBM/wiki/Features).
[Experiments](https://github.com/Microsoft/LightGBM/wiki/Experiments#comparison-experiment) on public datasets show that LightGBM can outperform existing boosting frameworks on both efficiency and accuracy, with significantly lower memory consumption. What's more, the [experiments](https://github.com/Microsoft/LightGBM/wiki/Experiments#parallel-experiment) show that LightGBM can achieve a linear speed-up by using multiple machines for training in specific settings.
