By far the best theoretical explanation on Gradient Boosting. Now I am very much clear on how Gradient Boosting works. Thank you very much for this detailed explanation
Hey Aman ..very well explained ... I am beginner and was looking for a easy and practical way of learning these concepts and you made it easy ..thanks very much ..appreciate the good work ..cheers
I was running around so many videos for Gradient boosting.........Than you so much for your detailed explanation.....How does it work for a classsification problem?
Hi Abirami, thank you for the feedback. It's difficult to explain the classification problem through comment. I ll probably create a video for the same :)
I have been searching for a better intuition on Gradient Boosting and this is the first video which gave me the best intuition. I am looking for research projects, can you help me with some topics on Machine Learning and Deep Learning which I could explore and ultimately go for a paper! I'm also reaching out to you on LinkedIn for better reach. Thankyou for the video :)
Hi Aman, Thank you very much for the video. It was by far the clearest explanation for the topic. Just one doubt if you could clear it, How we can decide the number of iterations for any problem? You have iterated this for n=2, so how we can decide that.
One of the best video that I have ever watched for GB . Thanks a lot for the video. Can you please cover one video on Bayesian optimization . Really I find difficult to understand on that topic . Thanks in advance
I understood how Gradient Boosting works but still not understood why it works. Actually, I am not getting the intuition behind why we are interested in training the model on the residual error rather than the true value of y. Can you please explain this in a bit more detail? Anyway, I am a big fan of your teaching.,.it's so simple and easy to understand. Thank you for teaching so well.
How the algorithm decides the no of trees in Gradient boosting. And its advantages and disadvantages over Adaptive boosting. When to choose what... Please explain or reply in comments and yours videos are very helpful for someone like me who wants to switch his Career in Data Science field. Also Can you please explain why we have the leaf nodes in the range of 8-32 in Gradient boosting and only one leaf node in Adaptive Boosting.
Great explanation ... u said it right , couldn’t find right material for boosting on net . Could u pls make a video on XGBoost as well ??thanks for ur response in advance
If you keep on growing the trees, it will overfit. How do you stop that? Will the model automatically stop ? or do we need to tune the hyperparameters? Also, it will be helpful if you can pick a record which we want to predict after training and demonstrate what will be the output, then that will be good. Going by your theory, all records you want to predict will have the same prediction. :)
Hi Suvajit, We must prune decision tree to avoid over fitting. Pruning can be done in multiple ways, like limiting number of leaf nodes, limiting branch size, limting depth of tree etc. All these inputs can be passed to model when we call gradient boost. For optimal values, we should tune the hyper parameter. Coming to part 2 of the question, all the records will not have the same prediction as error is getting optimized in every iteration. In the same model, If i try to predict for two different records, predictions will be different based on value of independent columns.
Great Explanation, but I want to ask two questions. first Q: why can't just make the update of the target value by: The first iteration is ( base value + 1st Res pred ) The second iteration is ( (base value + 1st Res Pred) + 2nd Res pred ) The third iteration is ( (base value + 1st Res Pred + 2nd Res pred) + 3rd Res pred) etc... and if we keep doing that for like 10 iterations and take the output of the final iteration I think logically we should reach 100% accuracy! why I used the learning rate! and why this model isn't the ultimate model with 0% error? -------------------------------- Second Q: why can't use this concept without predicting the residuals ex: the first iteration is (base value + Res) and now I don't need any other model. it will end in just one iteration because simply the output will be my (prediction + the error) and of course will be = the target value I'm pretty sure that this thinking is totally wrong because of some data leakage or something but I hope for an explanation of it. and if this thinking is wrong why i can add the predictive residuals and can't add the residuals itself thank you.
Thanks a ton for your spotless explanation . I have a question, how many residual models we will compute for getting our expected model, or how we will understand we need to compute that much of residual model.
Thank you Aman..It was very crisp and clear...explanation Just a request..Please add a Video explaining GBDT in case of classification problems ...That would be very much helpful :-)
It is always great to learn from your videos. I have one small doubt: Stem acts as the basic unit in adaboost. But if we change the algorithm from decision tree to say logistic regression, then also do adaboost uses stem as basic unit (as it is tree) or something else.
This was very well explained brother. Can you also please bring in the classification problem explanation? I mean how the initial base prediction is done and the other things? That will be of a good help.
How does the gradient boosting stops or when does it stop?(Does it stop when the loss becomes minimum or do we specify n_estimators for it to stop?) Also pls explain gradient boosting for classification if possible..it would b every helpful
By far the best theoretical explanation on Gradient Boosting. Now I am very much clear on how Gradient Boosting works. Thank you very much for this detailed explanation
Thanks Prasad.

Welcome Mansi.
Thank you. it was perfect explanation of gradient algorithm
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Aman, Thank you very much for the video. It was by far the clearest explanation for the topic. Just one doubt if you could clear it, How we can decide the number of iterations for any problem? You have iterated this for n=2, so how we can decide that.
Hi Shikhar, We can pass it as parameter while calling the function.
thats a perfect explanation aman sir, in a simplest way, thanks alot sir, your videos are really helpful.
So nice of you Krishna
this is very clear explanation ,
Thanks Vithal. Happy Learning. Stay Safe!!
Awesome.
Thanks Nurul

Thanks Manas.
One of the best video that I have ever watched for GB . Thanks a lot for the video. Can you please cover one video on Bayesian optimization . Really I find difficult to understand on that topic . Thanks in advance
Noted.
Thank you so much for all the videos. Its so clear
Best teacher 👍🏻
Sir , it is very really best and very easiest explanation.
Wait for more videos
Keep watching Tejas. Happy Learning.

Thanks Soumya. you work with data more and you will know.
Great
This is awesome, excellent explanation, thanks a lot
Very amazing videos. Concepts worth more than jumping into codes. Well done Sir!
very well explained...i could say the best video to understand GB
Glad it was helpful Aditya.
You have got very good explanation skills!

Also Can you please explain why we have the leaf nodes in the range of 8-32 in Gradient boosting and only one leaf node in Adaptive Boosting.
# of trees - u can pass as parameter
AdaBoost vs GB which to choose - depends on scenario
I dont think there will be only one leaf node
great explanation...liked a lot
Thanks a lot.
hi Aman.. your explanations are so good! thanks a lot
Thanks Sandhya.
Twas very helpful thank you.
Welcome Bhargav.
Hi aman thanks for explaining the concepts. here I have one question for u "will ada boost accept repetitive records like random forest? "
Please make numerical version of this by creating at least 3 iterations.
Hi aman,
This is for gradient boosting and not for gradient boosting tree because in GBDT we update with gamma value at each leaf
Great explanation ... u said it right , couldn’t find right material for boosting on net . Could u pls make a video on XGBoost as well ??thanks for ur response in advance
Sure Preeti.
The best explanation I ever saw!
Glad you liked it. Continue watching

Hope you reach 100k subscribers soon
Thank you Ajinkya. Keep watching :)
Very good and clear explanation 👍
This was great man, thanks!
Thanks a lot.
Thank you for the video...very useful
Welcome Sudheer, keep watching :)
Awesome video 😍😍
Thanks Pranjal. Hope you are doing great.
Great Explanation,
but I want to ask two questions.
first Q:
why can't just make the update of the target value by:
The first iteration is ( base value + 1st Res pred )
The second iteration is ( (base value + 1st Res Pred) + 2nd Res pred )
The third iteration is ( (base value + 1st Res Pred + 2nd Res pred) + 3rd Res pred)
etc...
and if we keep doing that for like 10 iterations and take the output of the final iteration I think logically we should reach 100% accuracy!
why I used the learning rate! and why this model isn't the ultimate model with 0% error?
--------------------------------
Second Q:
why can't use this concept without predicting the residuals
ex: the first iteration is (base value + Res) and now I don't need any other model. it will end in just one iteration because simply the output will be my (prediction + the error) and of course will be = the target value
I'm pretty sure that this thinking is totally wrong because of some data leakage or something but I hope for an explanation of it.
and if this thinking is wrong why i can add the predictive residuals and can't add the residuals itself
thank you.
Thanks a ton for your spotless explanation . I have a question, how many residual models we will compute for getting our expected model, or how we will understand we need to compute that much of residual model.
Good question Shihab, that number is a hyperparameter that can be tuned however there will be some default value for algorithm in R and Python.
Thanks for your response.
@aman how to choose learning rate value and how to choose no.of trees
Very clearly explained ! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful Dimitar!
excellent aman. Thank you so much
Super Awesome mate.
Thanks for the visit
Thank you very much. Learning a lot from your videos!
Welcome.
How will you define you learning rate and how did you arrive to the value 0.1?
This is just a number I took for explanation however this is a parameter that can be tuned..
clearly explained.thanks bro
Happy to help Mamatha :)
Thank you Aman..It was very crisp and clear...explanation
Just a request..Please add a Video explaining GBDT in case of classification problems ...That would be very much helpful :-)
I will try my best.
Thank you so much for such a nice video. It help me to understand thee concept of GB Algo.
Glad it was helpful Ajay. Happy Learning!
good work..
Thanks a lot.
Very well explained sir🎂.. thanks a ton

Hi Anirban. i dont think u can use any other weak learner apart from DT in sklearn GB.
Ur awesome🙂 the intent at which u explain concepts are mind blowing.
Thaks Satish, keep watching :)
tq sir,its good explination.
This was very well explained brother. Can you also please bring in the classification problem explanation? I mean how the initial base prediction is done and the other things? That will be of a good help.
Thanks Devendra . Will do. Happy Learning. Tc
Awesome video
Thanks a lot. Stay Safe. Tc
Excellent explaination sir.
Thanks and welcome
Do u have explanation for Gradient Boosting Classifier? Or pls make it, thank u so much
How does the gradient boosting stops or when does it stop?(Does it stop when the loss becomes minimum or do we specify n_estimators for it to stop?)
Also pls explain gradient boosting for classification if possible..it would b every helpful
Stopping is based on model hyperparameter
Amazing Content. Thanks a lot
Welcome Nikhil,pls share with friends
very well explained
