About CatBoost

CatBoost was created in 2017 by Yandex, a Russian multinational IT company, to address the limitations of existing gradient boosting algorithms, especially in handling categorical features and reducing overfitting.

Strengths of CatBoost include efficient handling of categorical features, excellent performance with default parameters, and reduced overfitting. Weaknesses include longer training times compared to some other algorithms and higher memory usage. Competitors include XGBoost, LightGBM, and Scikit-learn's Gradient Boosting Machine (GBM).
