NOutputGroups always be 0

[dwbaron]

after I followed the example in the doc, there exist a starnge error

[liuguiyangnwpu]

I also find this error

[yunfei86]

also having this error

[anuragkyal]

same issue. Did you guys find a solution?

training code:

import xgboost as xgb

train_labels = train['click']
train_features = train.drop('click', axis=1)

test_labels = test['click']
test_features = test.drop('click', axis=1)

# convert to data matrix
train_matrix = xgb.DMatrix(train_features, train_labels)
test_matrix = xgb.DMatrix(test_features, test_labels)

# group by query
train_matrix.set_group(train_group)
test_matrix.set_group(test_group)

watchlist = [(train_matrix, 'train'), (test_matrix, 'eval')]

param = {
    'objective': 'rank:pairwise',
    'max_depth': 10,
    'eta': 0.1,
    'eval_metric': ['ndcg'],
    'colsample_bytree': 0.8,
    'subsample': 0.8,
    'tree_method': 'hist',
    'nthread': 64,
    'verbosity': 1
}
bst = xgb.train(param, train_matrix, 50, watchlist, early_stopping_rounds=10)
bst.save_model('xgboost.model')

prediction code:

[dmitryikh]

Hi all!
I assume that this is because of using objective function ('objective': 'rank:ndcg', as example) that isn't supported by leaves. Anyway leaves should be not panic and show the error on model loading stage.
I will try to fix it

[anuragkyal]

@dmitryikh got it, thanks for your response. Is any ranking objective supported with xgboost like rank:pariwise etc?

It would help if the list of objectives supported is added to the README.

[siyi8088]

my objective function is binary:logistic, but also have this error

[siyi8088]

Name: xgboost.gbtree
NFeatures: 31
NOutputGroups: 1
panic: runtime error: integer divide by zero

[qjebbs]

same here with XGBClassifier().save_model()

Name: xgboost.gbtree
NFeatures: 8
NOutputGroups: 0
panic: runtime error: integer divide by zero

[kasiss-liu]

I set python module xgboost===0.90 instead of 1.0.0 . so this error disappeared
