scikit-learn – XGBRegressor比GradientBoostingRegressor慢得多

2023年7月12日 563次阅读

我是xgboost的新手,我正在尝试通过将它与传统的gbm进行比较来学习如何使用它.但是,我注意到xgboost比gbm慢得多.例子是：

from sklearn.model_selection import KFold, GridSearchCV
from sklearn.ensemble import GradientBoostingRegressor
from xgboost import XGBRegressor
from sklearn.datasets import load_boston
import time

boston = load_boston()
X = boston.data
y = boston.target

kf = KFold(n_splits = 5)
cv_params = {'cv': kf, 'scoring': 'r2', 'n_jobs': 4, 'verbose': 1}

gbm = GradientBoostingRegressor()
xgb = XGBRegressor()

grid = {'n_estimators': [100, 300, 500], 'max_depth': [3, 5]}

timer = time.time()
gbm_cv = GridSearchCV(gbm, param_grid = grid, **cv_params).fit(X, y)
print('GBM time: ', time.time() - timer)

timer = time.time()
xgb_cv = GridSearchCV(xgb, param_grid = grid, **cv_params).fit(X, y)
print('XGB time: ', time.time() - timer)

在具有8个内核的Macbook Pro上,输出为：

Fitting 5 folds for each of 6 candidates, totalling 30 fits
[Parallel(n_jobs=4)]: Done  30 out of  30 | elapsed:    1.9s finished
GBM time:  2.262791872024536
Fitting 5 folds for each of 6 candidates, totalling 30 fits
[Parallel(n_jobs=4)]: Done  30 out of  30 | elapsed:   16.4s finished
XGB time:  17.902266025543213

我认为xgboost应该快得多,所以我一定做错了.有人可以帮助指出我做错了什么吗？

最佳答案 这是在我的机器上运行时的输出,没有在cv_params中设置n_jobs参数

Fitting 5 folds for each of 6 candidates, totalling 30 fits
[Parallel(n_jobs=1)]: Done  30 out of  30 | elapsed:    4.1s finished
('GBM time: ', 4.248916864395142)
Fitting 5 folds for each of 6 candidates, totalling 30 fits
('XGB time: ', 2.934467077255249)
[Parallel(n_jobs=1)]: Done  30 out of  30 | elapsed:    2.9s finished

当n_jobs设置为4时,GBM的输出为2.5s,但XGB需要很长时间.

所以这可能是n_jobs的问题！也许XGBoost库没有很好地配置为使用GridSearchCV运行n_jobs.
