When Do Neural Nets Outperform Boosted Trees on Tabular Data?

NeurIPS 2023poster

Tabular data is one of the most commonly used types of data in machine learning. Despite recent advances in neural nets (NNs) for tabular data, there is still an active discussion on whether or not NNs generally outperform gradient-boosted decision trees (GBDTs) on tabular data, with several recent…

On the Generalizability and Predictability of Recommender Systems

NeurIPS 2022accept

While other areas of machine learning have seen more and more automation, designing a high-performing recommender system still requires a high level of human effort. Furthermore, recent work has shown that modern recommender system algorithms do not always improve over well-tuned baselines. A natura…
