1) Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost): Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) [30] is an efficient open-source project implementation of the gradient boosting algorithm. Gradient boosting is a class of ensemble machine learning used extensively for predictive analytics and work very well for unstructured data. In general, the ensemble is constructed from the addition of decision tree models one at a time to reduce prediction error using a gradient descent optimization algorithm. The XGBoost optimizes gradient boosting by effective parallelization, hardware optimization, and regularization. The algorithm is highly scalable with higher computational speed on memory-constrained systems. 2) Tab Transformer: [31] The Transformer is widely used for contextual modeling in Natural Language Processing (NLP). The Tab Transformer is the adaptation of the Transformer for tabular data. The Tab Transformer utilizes a sequence of multi-head attention-based Transformer layers to take input and convert it into contextual embeddings to bridge the gap between baseline MLP and GBDT models. The highly correlated features in the same column and cross column result in an embedding vector close to euclidean distance. There is no such relationship that exists in context-free embedding. The Tab Transformer is highly robust to the random missing and noisy data.
