Hands-on tests of new models, libraries and releases. Every post comes with a runnable notebook.
With zero tuning, NVIDIA’s Kumo Tabular beat default XGBoost and LightGBM on 25 of 25 splits, won most on small data, and edged out my hand-tuned 2020 models on Bank Marketing. Rebuilding those 2020 models also exposed a train/test leak.
