[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/komiya-atsushi/xgboost-predictor-java.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/komiya-atsushi/xgboost-predictor-java)

Pure Java implementation of [XGBoost](https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost/) predictor for online prediction tasks.

# Getting started

## Adding to dependencies

If you use **Maven**:

```xml


bintray-komiya-atsushi-maven
http://dl.bintray.com/komiya-atsushi/maven


biz.k11i
xgboost-predictor
0.3.0

```

Or **Gradle**:

```groovy
repositories {
// Use jcenter instead of mavenCentral
jcenter()
}

dependencies {
compile group: 'biz.k11i', name: 'xgboost-predictor', version: '0.3.0'
}
```

Or **sbt**:

```scala
resolvers += Resolver.jcenterRepo

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
"biz.k11i" % "xgboost-predictor" % "0.3.0"
)
```

## Using Predictor in Java

```java
package biz.k11i.xgboost.demo;

import biz.k11i.xgboost.Predictor;
import biz.k11i.xgboost.util.FVec;

public class HowToUseXgboostPredictor {
public static void main(String[] args) throws java.io.IOException {
// If you want to use faster exp() calculation, uncomment the line below
// ObjFunction.useFastMathExp(true);

// Load model and create Predictor
Predictor predictor = new Predictor(
new java.io.FileInputStream("/path/to/xgboost-model-file"));

// Create feature vector from dense representation by array
double[] denseArray = {0, 0, 32, 0, 0, 16, -8, 0, 0, 0};
FVec fVecDense = FVec.Transformer.fromArray(
denseArray,
true /* treat zero element as N/A */);

// Create feature vector from sparse representation by map
FVec fVecSparse = FVec.Transformer.fromMap(
new java.util.HashMap() {{
put(2, 32.);
put(5, 16.);
put(6, -8.);
}});

// Predict probability or classification
double[] prediction = predictor.predict(fVecDense);

// prediction[0] has
// - probability ("binary:logistic")
// - class label ("multi:softmax")

// Predict leaf index of each tree
int[] leafIndexes = predictor.predictLeaf(fVecDense);

// leafIndexes[i] has a leaf index of i-th tree
}
}
```

## Apache Spark integration

# Benchmark

Throughput comparison to [xgboost4j 1.1](https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost/tree/master/java/xgboost4j) by [xgboost-predictor-benchmark](https://github.com/komiya-atsushi/xgboost-predictor-benchmark).

| Feature | xgboost-predictor | xgboost4j |
| ----------------- | ----------------: | -------------: |
| Model loading | 49017.60 ops/s | 39669.36 ops/s |
| Single prediction | 6016955.46 ops/s | 1018.01 ops/s |
| Batch prediction | 44985.71 ops/s | 5.04 ops/s |
| Leaf prediction | 11115853.34 ops/s | 1076.54 ops/s |

Xgboost-predictor-java is about **6,000 to 10,000 times faster than** xgboost4j on prediction tasks.
