Installed and loaded XGBoost on Weka, but can't run on data as classifier

[huhrichard]

Hi,

I am a Mac user using Weka 3.9.4. XGBoost is successfully loaded on Weka by package manager.

I can choose XGBoost as a classifier under 'trees'. However, once I start, nothing is shown, even with debug mode on.

The XGBoost on my computer is installed by pip, does it matter? How can I run XGBoost on Weka successfully?

Thanks.

Same happened to me. Weka 3.9.6... it just prints the building model information but nothing happens (see image)...
@huhrichard I don't think you need to install anything through pip since this should be a wrapper for the XGBoost4J model.
However, you can install the wekaPython package and then you can use the python implementation of XGBoost... And that seems to work.
