[@pvrnaaz]

Very organized and clear with excellent examples that make it so easy to understand. Thank you!

[@caiyu538]

Perfect tutorial, I am using XGBoost and random forest to analyze some work. Perfect tutorials for me. Always appreciate your continuous efforts to share your knowledge through youtube.

[@sudippandit6676]

Very organized and straight forward! Waiting other videos. Thank you for sharing this knowledge.

[@venkatesanr9455]

Thanks, Sreeni sir for your valuable and knowledgeable content. Also, waiting for the next semantic segmentation series and also discusses the hyperparameters and their tuning, Time series analysis that will be highly helpful.

[@evazhong4419]

your explanation is so interesting haha, it helps me a lot understand the material

[@ashift32]

Very well explained, clear and concise. Thanks for taking your time

[@DigitalSreeni]

You're very welcome!

[@VarunKumar-pz5si]

Awesome Tutorial, Glad I got a great teacher..Thank you...

[@mhh5002]

Very well explained, sir. It was intuitive for beginners. The analogies are interesting as well.

[@DigitalSreeni]

Glad to hear that

[@andyn6053]

This was very clear and useful! Do u have any link to your code? Also, could xgboost be used for linear regression aswell?

[@Ahmetkumas]

Thanks for the video and effort. Can you make a time series video using xgboost, or something with multiple features(lags, rolling mean, etc..)

[@omeremhan]

Magnificant!!! Thanks for clear explanation Sir.

[@riti_joshi]

I never comment on any RUclips videos, but I am compelled to do here, because I learned most of my analyses for my dissertation following your tutorials. You're such a great tutor. Thank you so much.

[@DigitalSreeni]

Wow, thank you!

[@tannyakumar284]

Hi. I have a 1500x11 dataset and I am trying to see which out of cognitive ability, non-cognitive ability, family structure, parental involvement, and school characteristics predict academic performance (measured in terms of grades ranging from 1-5). Should I be using XG Boost for this problem or random forest? Thanks!

[@rezaniazi4352]

thanks for the video
what we have to change if we want to use XGBRegressor() insted if classifier ?
xgboost documantation is so confusing !

[@semon00]

Wow your explanotion is awesome!!!
Dont stop plz

[@evyatarcoco]

A very useful episode, thanks sir

[@sbaet]

can you make a quick video on normalization and standardizetion for a image dataset

[@drforest]

Awesome comparison. Super thanks

[@grantsmith3653]

Sreeni said we need to normalize, but I always thought we didn't need to do that with trees... Am I confused on something?
Thanks for the video!!

[@farhaddavaripour4619]

Thanks for the video. Something I noticed in the figure above that you might have missed is that in the figure you show the most evolved species has lighter hair than less evolved which could interpret a false impression that species with lighter hair are more evolved. It would be great if you could adjust the figure.

[@vikramsandu6054]

Well explained. Thank you so much for the video.

[@DigitalSreeni]

Glad you liked it

[@SP-cg9fu]

very useful video ! Thank you!

[@RealThrillMedia]

Very helpful thank you!

[@mouraleog]

Awesome video, thank you ! Greetings from Brazil!

[@DigitalSreeni]

Thanks for watching!

[@sathishchetla3986]

Thank you so much for your explanation sir

[@barrelroller8650]

It's not clear where did you get a dataset in a CSV format - the .zip archive from provided link includes only `wdbc.data` and `wdbc.names` files

[@kakaliroy4747]

The example of bagging is so funny and I can fully relate

[@Bwaaz]

very clear thanks :)

[@abderrahmaneherbadji5478]

thank you very much

[@multiversityx]

What’s the method name? When are you presenting at NeurIPS? (I’ll be attending it :)

[@axe863]

XGBoost with Regularized Rotations and Synthetic Feature Construction can approximate Deep NN deepness

[@longtruong9935]

dataset in the UCI link not avaiable now. could any one can provide update link?

[@darioooc]

Great!

[@Lodeken]

Wow that analogy! 😂 Amazingly apt lol!

[@khairulfahim]

Where can I get the exact .csv file?

[@kangajohn]

if your explanations were a kaggle competition it would be top 1%

[@ghafiqe]

Perfect

[@ahmedraafat8769]

The dataset has been removed from the website. is it possible to upload it?

[@DigitalSreeni]

Just google search for the keywords and you'll find it somewhere, may be on Kaggle. I do not own the data so I cannot share it, legally.

[@v1hana350]

I have a question about the Xgboost algorithm. The question is how parallelization works in the Xgboost algorithm and explain me with an example.

[@kangxinwang3886]

loved the arrange marriage example! Made it very intuitive and easy to understand. Thank you!

[@vzinko]

Another case of data leakage. You can't scale X and then split it into test and train. The scaling needs to happen after the split.

[@Beowulf245]

Thank you. At least someone understands.

[@andyn6053]

So this video is incorrect?

[@Frittenfinger]

Nice T-Shirt 😃

[@ramakrishnabhupathi4995]

Good one

[@DigitalSreeni]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@andromeda1534]

Looks like when you demo-ed random forest, you didn't comment out the xgb line, so you actually showed the fitting for xgb twice with the same results.

[@3DComputing]

You're worth more money

[@DigitalSreeni]

I am priceless :)

[@alejandrovillalobos1678]

can you talk about transformers please?

[@user.................]

bro trying to share about life n forgot wts hes teaching 🤣🤣🤣🤣
only were i gt complete idea about xgboost tq

[@agsantiago22]

Merci !

[@DigitalSreeni]

Thank you very much.
