mlr3learners: Recommended Learners for 'mlr3'

#' @title Extreme Gradient Boosting Regression Learner
#'
#' @name mlr_learners_regr.xgboost
#'
#' @description
#' eXtreme Gradient Boosting regression.
#' Calls [xgboost::xgb.train()] from package \CRANpkg{xgboost}.
#'
#' To compute on GPUs, you first need to compile \CRANpkg{xgboost} yourself and link
#' against CUDA. See \url{https://xgboost.readthedocs.io/en/stable/build.html#building-with-gpu-support}.
#'
#' Note that using the `watchlist` parameter directly will lead to problems when wrapping this [mlr3::Learner] in a
#' `mlr3pipelines` `GraphLearner` as the preprocessing steps will not be applied to the data in the watchlist.
#' See the section *Early Stopping and Validation* on how to do this.
