Catboost in Rust lang

[johnkarasev]

I am creating a electric power consumption forecasts model in Rust language. Will catboost work with rust?

[annaveronika]

We have C++, python and Java appliers. Rust is a great idea for contribution.

[shuternay]

I would like to implement this

[johnkarasev]

@shuternay I can contribute also, what is your progress on it?

[annaveronika]

@shuternay @johnkarasev We are happy if we get help with this!

@shuternay privately stated that he already have some rust wrapper around model C API. I hope he will send PR in near future :)

@johnkarasev
I have wrapped model C API, but there are only methods which apply model and get some model info: https://github.com/Shuternay/catboost/tree/master/catboost/rust-package
Now I want to add support for model training.

@shuternay What's the progress? We are waiting for your pr!

[annaveronika]

You don't have to do training, the first step - applying the model - would be already great.

[annaveronika]

This is implemented in catboost 0.15

Has any work been done on training with rust?

[annaveronika]

No, and there is not plan to support training on Rust
