Course Outline:
I. Gradient Boosting and Post-Processing:
o What is missing from Gradient Boosting?
o Why post-processing techniques are used?

II. Applications Benefiting from Post-Processing: Examples from a variety of
industries.
o Financial Services
o Biomedical
o Environmental
o Manufacturing
o Adserving

III. Typical Post-Processing Steps

IV. Techniques:
o Generalized Path Seeker (GPS): modern high-speed LASSO-style regularized
regression.
o Importance Sampled Learning Ensembles (ISLE): identify and reweight the most
influential trees.
o Rulefit: ISLE on "steroids." Identify the most influential nodes and
rules.

V. Case Study Example:
o Output/Results without Post-Processing
o Output/Results with Post-Processing
o Demo
