Revisiting Tabular Deep Regression: Objectives and the Limits of Global Early Stopping
arXiv cs.AI · Published · 3 min read
In 30 seconds
- What happened
- Researchers systematically compared regression loss functions for tabular deep learning, finding quantile loss outperforms MSE, but identifying early stopping limitations.
- Why it matters
- Matters for engineers tuning neural networks on tabular data who want empirical guidance on objective functions and training procedures.
- Watch out
- Single global early stopping checkpoint compromises performance across regions with different noise levels, even with heteroskedastic-aware objectives.
