Compare with other algorithms

[sbrugman]

Is it a deliberate decision to not compare this algorithm to popular implementations such as xgboost and lightgbm? If this is fundamental research I can imagine it is (not) yet at the same level. Giving some numbers for comparison will give a clearer view of the purpose of the paper to the reader :)

Hi Simon,
right now we present this as a research, not a production-ready tool.

Comparison with other libraries would be nice, but to understand the effect of proposed boosting scheme,
it should be done on the same basis: in comparison with xgboost/lightgbm we should use the same trees. Currently I see no way to use trees separately, so one needs to modify libraries' c++ code. We have this in future plans.
