New research revisits deep learning regression objectives for tabular data

A new research paper revisits deep learning regression objectives for tabular data, finding that while Quantile Loss offers consistent improvements over Mean Squared Error (MSE), a single global early stopping point can still limit performance. The study introduces a heteroskedasticity-aware extension of quantile loss to address this limitation by using input-dependent label smoothing. The research provides an updated empirical view of regression objectives for tabular deep learning and makes its code available on Hugging Face. AI

IMPACT Provides updated empirical insights into regression objectives for tabular deep learning, potentially improving model performance in these common scenarios.

    Revisiting Tabular Deep Regression: Objectives and the Limits of Global Early Stopping

    arXiv:2610.13909v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While deep learning models for tabular data have recently received significant research attention, the choice of objective functions for regression tasks remains an understudied degree of freedom. Several lines of research offer a…
