Sintesi	Robust LightGBM is a gradient boosting framework that pairs Microsoft's highly efficient LightGBM engine with outlier-resistant loss functions — most commonly Huber, quantile, or mean absolute error — so that predictions are not unduly distorted by extreme or erroneous observations. It retains LightGBM's speed and leaf-wise tree growth while providing resistance to heavy-tailed noise in the target variable.	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.
