Σύνοψη	Gradient Boosting is an ensemble learning method, formalised by Jerome H. Friedman in 2001, that combines a sequence of weak learners — typically shallow decision trees — so that each new tree is fitted to minimise the residual errors of the trees before it. It is the core algorithm behind popular implementations such as XGBoost, LightGBM and CatBoost.	Regularized boosting extends gradient boosting by adding explicit controls — shrinkage (learning rate), L1/L2 weight penalties, subsampling, and tree-complexity limits — to the objective function and the update rule. These constraints reduce overfitting, stabilise the model on noisy or small datasets, and are the core reason why systems such as XGBoost and LightGBM consistently outperform vanilla boosting on real-world tabular benchmarks.	Robust Gradient Boosting is gradient boosting trained with outlier-resistant loss functions — most commonly the Huber loss or quantile (pinball) loss — instead of squared-error loss. Proposed in Friedman's seminal 2001 paper, this variant produces predictions far less distorted by extreme values or contaminated labels, while retaining the full predictive power of gradient-boosted trees.
