+LightGBM is a gradient boosting framework that uses tree based learning
+algorithms. It is designed to be distributed and efficient with the
+following advantages:
+* Faster training speed and higher efficiency.
+* Lower memory usage.
+* Better accuracy.
+* Support of parallel, distributed, and GPU learning.
+* Capable of handling large-scale data.
