C# .Net interface #763
Comments
It seems c# doesn't have the native Matrices support (like the numpy / pandas in python). BTW, it seems @ycdoit had done some works for the c# interfaces. @ycdoit can you share some details ? |
I am interested in providing a lightGBM learner/model as a more efficient alternative to my own gradient boost implementation in SharpLearning. With the primary goal of making machine learning more accessible in C#. My hope was to have a stand-alone C# interface for lightGBM (+ native dll) in a nuget package and then use that package in SharpLearning. If there are currently no plans to develop a C# interface, I would be interested in contributing to get this started. @ycdoit, let me know if you already have something working. Of course it would be better with an official lightGBM C# release from the Microsoft team. The Microsoft CNTK team has recently announced they are working on full C# support (training/evaluation) for deep learning (microsoft/CNTK#2194). So something similar from the lightGBM team would be great :-). |
@mdabros consolidation! Great job! |
Also very interested in this |
Hi there, I have created a .NET wrapper for LightGBM (including GPU support) based on the executable version of LightGBM. If interrested, check it out: LightGbmDotNet But of course a proper .NET wrapper for LightGBM, maintained by the original team would be even better. Best regards Florian |
Thanks for developing a usable C# wrapper for the LightGBM.exe based nuget package. This is definitely a step in the right direction, and I think this will help make LightGBM more accessible to the .net community. For my specific use-case, including it as a more efficient an alternative to the gradient boost implementation in SharpLearning, I would prefer a solution where the native dll is wrapped directly using pinvoke or similar. As you mention in #74 , this requires considerable effort and probably also requires the help of the LightGBM developers. I will leave this issue open for the development of a .net wrapper, where the native dll is wrapped directly. Best regards |
@guolinke: |
Here's another one: https://github.com/ttustonic/LightGBMSharp Cheers, Tom |
refer to dotnet/machinelearning#392 |
@guolinke Can we close this issue, since LightGBM is in ML.NET now? |
Are there any plans for a C# .net interface similar to what is availible for Python and R? For example:
https://github.com/Microsoft/LightGBM/blob/master/python-package/lightgbm/sklearn.py
I can see a related issue (#74) was closed earlier this year. However, the resulting nuget package only seem to package the command line version of lightGBM.
