Training Gradient Boosted Tree Models with AWS S3 Data

AWS S3

A data lake is a centralized repository that allows you to store all your structured and unstructured data at any scale. You can store your data as-is, without having to first structure the data, and run different types of analytics. Amazon S3 is used as the primary storage platform for a data lake built on AWS because of its virtually unlimited scalability and high durability. AWS-powered data lakes, supported by the unmatched availability of Amazon S3, can handle the scale, agility, and flexibility required to combine different data and analytics approaches.

Gradient Boosted Tree Models

Gradient Boosted Tree (GBT) models are a type of machine learning model that are used for classification and regression problems. They work by combining multiple decision trees together to create a more accurate model. Gradient Boosted Trees are particularly useful when working with large datasets, as they can handle both numerical and categorical data. They are also known for their ability to handle missing data well. Gradient Boosted Trees have become increasingly popular due to their high accuracy rates on many different types of datasets.

With the growing popularity of both AWS S3 for storage and gradient boosted tree models for AI deployments, it is unsurprising that many organizations are seeking to train gradient boosted tree models using data in AWS S3. Kaspian offers native connectors for this operation. Just register your AWS S3 datastore and link your model training job; Kaspian's autoscaling compute layer makes it easy to train and deploy gradient boosted tree models using any data in your cloud with minimal setup or management.
