About LightGBM

LightGBM was created by Microsoft in 2017. It was developed to address the need for a more efficient gradient boosting framework that could handle large datasets with faster training speeds and lower memory usage compared to existing solutions.

Strengths of LightGBM include fast training speed, low memory usage, and the ability to handle large-scale data. Weaknesses include sensitivity to hyperparameters and potential overfitting on small datasets. Competitors are XGBoost, CatBoost, and Scikit-learn's Gradient Boosting.
