Gradient Boosting Decision trees: XGBoost vs LightGBM

Gradient boosting decision trees is the state of the art for structured data problems. Two modern algorithms that make gradient boosted tree models are XGBoost and LightGBM. In this article I'll summarize their introductory papers for each algorithm's approach. Gradient Boosting Decision Trees (GBDT) are currently the best techniques for building predictive models from structured data. Unlike models for analyzing images (for that you want to use a deep learning model), structured data problems can be solved very well with a lot of decision trees.
