While doing accuracy calculations in python better results were observed in Catboost model as compared to SGD, XGB, LGBM. Can any one share if catboost operator functionality is achievable in rapidminer.

    Hi @kani,

    I don't believe there is a prebuild operator for a Catboost model. However you should be able to integrate it into your workflows using a Python block or similar. If you'd like some help getting started, please let me know.

    Best,
    Roland

    We have limitations imposed to not use a python block as it needs installation of packages on server. Any other round about to solve the issue.

    Would you be allowed to use R? I'm guessing not for the same reason?

    Yeah, not even R is allowed, just to use the inbuilt operators

    In that case, I don't think Catboost will be available to you right now. It would require the creation of a new operator. I'll message you to gather some further information.

    Catboost is just available in python/c++, not in java. there will be no way of integrating it without python or JNI bindings.
