Gradient Boosting is a Generalization of boosting to arbitrary loss function
Similar to AdaBoost, Gradient Boosting builds upon previous models by adding new models that compensate for the errors of earlier ones. However, it takes a different approach:
- Forward stagewise boosting adds at each steps the tree that reduces the loss the most (given the current model)
- Instead of updating sample weights at each learning stage, it trains new models on the residual errors from previous stages
- This focus on residual errors allows for more precise error correction and model improvement

Gradient boosting
Gradient boosting is a machine learning technique used in regression and classification tasks, among others. It gives a prediction model in the form of an ensemble of weak prediction models, i.e., models that make very few assumptions about the data, which are typically simple decision trees. When a decision tree is the weak learner, the resulting algorithm is called gradient-boosted trees; it usually outperforms random forest. A gradient-boosted trees model is built in a stage-wise fashion as in other boosting methods, but it generalizes the other methods by allowing optimization of an arbitrary differentiable loss function.
