תקציר	Regularized CatBoost applies explicit regularization controls — L2 leaf regularization, tree depth constraints, shrinkage rate, and model size penalties — on top of CatBoost's ordered gradient boosting framework, reducing overfitting while retaining CatBoost's native handling of categorical features and its low prediction latency on tabular datasets.	CatBoost is a gradient boosting algorithm, introduced by Prokhorenkova and colleagues at Yandex in 2018, that handles categorical variables natively and uses ordered target encoding to avoid label leakage. By building an additive ensemble of trees while permuting the data order at each iteration, it is often superior to XGBoost and LightGBM on category-heavy data.	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 LightGBM applies L1 (lasso) and L2 (ridge) penalty terms to the leaf weight objective of LightGBM — Microsoft's highly efficient gradient boosting framework — to control model complexity, reduce overfitting, and improve generalization on tabular classification and regression tasks with high-dimensional or noisy feature sets.
