Problem:
catboost version: 0.23.2
Operating System: all
Tutorial: https://github.com/catboost/tutorials/blob/master/custom_loss/custom_metric_tutorial.md

Impossible to use custom metric (С++).

Code example

from catboost import CatBoost
train_data = [[1, 4, 5, 6],
 

Improve readability of thread id based branches by giving them more descriptive names.

e.g.

if (!t) // is actually a t == 0

Is actually a lane_id == 0
As demonstrated in rapidsai/cudf#6241 (comment), pr

Current implementation of join can be improved by performing the operation in a single call to the backend kernel instead of multiple calls.

This is a fairly easy kernel and may be a good issue for someone getting to know CUDA/ArrayFire internals. Ping me if you want additional info.

In Windows, with VS2019 16.7.2 (debug mode) and the default thrust provided with CUDA 11 package, I found this problem:

int main()
{
    thrust::device_vector<int> gpu;
    std::vector<int> cpu;
    gpu = cpu; // assertion in debug
}

The code triggers an assertion in vector:46 (standard vector header, provided by Microsoft) coming from `thrus

We do not have documentation specifying the different treelite Operator values that FIL supports. (https://github.com/dmlc/treelite/blob/46c8390aed4491ea97a017d447f921efef9f03ef/include/treelite/base.h#L40)

There are multiple places in the fil_test.cu file

I often use -v just to see that something is going on, but a progress bar (enabled by default) would serve the same purpose and be more concise.

We can just factor out the code from futhark bench for this.

Thank you for this fantastic work!

Could it be possible the fit_transform() method returns the KL divergence of the run?

Thx!
