MLZero: A Multi-Agent System for End-to-end Machine Learning Automation

NeurIPS 2025poster

Existing AutoML systems have advanced the automation of machine learning (ML); however, they still require substantial manual configuration and expert input, particularly when handling multimodal data. We introduce MLZero, a novel multi-agent framework powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) that en…

Mitra: Mixed Synthetic Priors for Enhancing Tabular Foundation Models

NeurIPS 2025poster

Since the seminal work of TabPFN, research on tabular foundation models (TFMs) based on in-context learning (ICL) has challenged long-standing paradigms in machine learning. Without seeing any real-world data, models pretrained on purely synthetic datasets generalize remarkably well across diverse d…

TabArena: A Living Benchmark for Machine Learning on Tabular Data

NeurIPS 2025spotlight

With the growing popularity of deep learning and foundation models for tabular data, the need for standardized and reliable benchmarks is higher than ever. However, current benchmarks are static. Their design is not updated even if flaws are discovered, model versions are updated, or new models are…

RLSbench: Domain Adaptation Under Relaxed Label Shift

ICML 2023poster

Despite the emergence of principled methods for domain adaptation under label shift, their sensitivity to shifts in class conditional distributions is precariously under explored. Meanwhile, popular deep domain adaptation heuristics tend to falter when faced with label proportions shifts. While seve…

XTab: Cross-table Pretraining for Tabular Transformers

ICML 2023poster

The success of self-supervised learning in computer vision and natural language processing has motivated pretraining methods on tabular data. However, most existing tabular self-supervised learning models fail to leverage information across multiple data tables and cannot generalize to new tables. I…

Benchmarking Multimodal AutoML for Tabular Data with Text Fields

NeurIPS 2021poster

We consider the use of automated supervised learning systems for data tables that not only contain numeric/categorical columns, but one or more text fields as well. Here we assemble 18 multimodal data tables that each contain some text fields and stem from a real business application. Our publicly-a…

Fast, Accurate, and Simple Models for Tabular Data via Augmented Distillation

NeurIPS 2020poster

Automated machine learning (AutoML) can produce complex model ensembles by stacking, bagging, and boosting many individual models like trees, deep networks, and nearest neighbor estimators. While highly accurate, the resulting predictors are large, slow, and opaque as compared to their constituents.…
