REP provides an IPython-based machine learning environment for consistent, reproducible data-driven research.
LightGBM
The LightGBM framework uses gradient boosting for ranking, classification, and other machine learning tasks.
About LightGBM
LightGBM is an open-source gradient boosting framework based on decision-tree algorithms for ranking, classification and other machine learning tasks. It supports parallel, distributed and GPU learning and is designed to handle large-scale data.
The project moved from Microsoft/LightGBM to lightgbm-org/LightGBM in March 2026 and remains the official source maintained by the same maintainers. The repository includes examples, parameter lists and documentation references, while listed third-party converters and deployment tools are unofficial.

LightGBM FAQ
Is this still the official LightGBM repository after the move?
Yes. The project moved from Microsoft/LightGBM to lightgbm-org/LightGBM in March 2026 and remains the official source maintained by the same maintainers.
Where is the LightGBM documentation?
The primary documentation is at https://lightgbm.readthedocs.io/, generated from the repository, with installation instructions for new users.
Are the listed third-party converters and deployment tools official?
No. Projects such as JPMML, Treelite, Hummingbird and ONNXMLTools offer alternative ways to use LightGBM but are not maintained or officially endorsed by the LightGBM team.
