Easy Custom Losses for Tree Boosters using Pytorch

Why calculate first and second derivatives for your objective when you can let PyTorch do it for you?

This packages includes an easy to use custom PyTorch objective implementation for tree boosters (just add loss).
Supported boosting packages: CatBoost, XGBoost, LightGBM.
Supported tasks: regression, binary classification.

Usage

Usage is very similar for all boosting libraries:
from treeboost_autograd import CatboostObjective, LightGbmObjective, XgboostObjective
Ready-to-run examples are available at the Git repo: https://github.com/TomerRonen34/treeboost_autograd/tree/main/examples

pip install treeboost_autograd

def absolute_error_loss(preds: torch.Tensor, targets: torch.Tensor) -> torch.Tensor:
    return torch.abs(preds - targets).sum()

custom_objective = CatboostObjective(loss_function=absolute_error_loss)
model = CatBoostRegressor(loss_function=custom_objective, eval_metric="MAE")
model.fit(X_train, y_train)
