Sintesi	Online LightGBM applies the Light Gradient-Boosting Machine framework incrementally: instead of requiring all training data at once, the model is updated in mini-batches or data chunks as they arrive. This allows LightGBM's efficient histogram-based boosting to be deployed in streaming, continual-learning, and data-expansion scenarios without retraining from scratch.	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.	LightGBM is Microsoft's gradient boosting decision tree implementation, introduced by Ke and colleagues in 2017, that grows trees leaf-wise and bins features into histograms for speed. On large datasets it is much faster than XGBoost while retaining strong predictive accuracy.
