Gradient Boosting
An ensemble machine learning method that iteratively trains weak learners, typically decision trees, and combines them by accumulating updates along the gradient direction. It can be understood as a special case of functional gradient descent restricted to a particular family of basis functions.

The author plans to study Gradient Boosting next, with 7–8 algorithm concepts remaining in the ML phase and a final goal of moving into deep learning.
XGBoost was released in 2016 and LightGBM in 2017; both, along with CatBoost, are grounded in the theoretical foundation of Gradient Boosting.
AdaBoost is essentially a special case under the exponential loss function, while Gradient Boosting is a more general optimization framework.
The concept of Gradient Boosting was proposed by Friedman in 2001.
The study uses a gradient boosting architecture to fit the emissions baseline and introduces Mondrian Conformal Prediction to provide prediction intervals with statistical guarantees.
Gradient Boosting generalizes the idea of AdaBoost to arbitrary differentiable loss functions, with its core operation being that each new model fits the residuals of the previous round.
Classic Boosting algorithms (such as Gradient Boosting) can be understood as special cases of the functional gradient descent framework, where each iteration approximates the gradient direction with a new decision tree.
