PyTabKit: Tabular ML models and benchmarking code
This repository accompanies our paper
Better by default: Strong pre-tuned MLPs and boosted trees on tabular data
It contains code for applying tabular ML methods
and (optionally) benchmarking them on our meta-train and meta-test benchmarks.
Installation
pip install pytabkit


If you want to use TabR, you have to manually install faiss, which is only available on conda
Install torch before if you want to control the version (CPU/GPU etc.)
Use pytabkit[full] to also install the benchmarking library part. See also the documentation.

Using the ML models
Most of our machine learning models are directly available via scikit-learn interfaces.
For example, you can use RealMLP-TD for classification as follows:
from pytabkit.models.sklearn.sklearn_interfaces import RealMLP_TD_Classifier

model = RealMLP_TD_Classifier() # or TabR_S_D_Classifier, CatBoost_TD_Classifier, etc.
model.fit(X_train, y_train)
model.predict(X_test)

The code above will automatically select a GPU if available,
try to detect categorical columns in dataframes,
preprocess numerical variables and regression targets (no standardization required),
and use a training-validation split for early stopping.
All of this (and much more) can be configured through the constructor
and the parameters of the fit() method.
For example, it is possible to do bagging
(ensembling of models on 5-fold cross-validation)
simply by passing n_cv=5 to the constructor.
Here is an example for some of the parameters that can be set explicitly:
from pytabkit.models.sklearn.sklearn_interfaces import RealMLP_TD_Classifier

model = RealMLP_TD_Classifier(device='cpu', random_state=0, n_cv=1, n_refit=0,
verbosity=2, val_metric_name='cross_entropy',
n_epochs=256, batch_size=256, hidden_sizes=[256] * 3,
lr=0.04, use_ls=False)
model.fit(X_train, y_train, val_idxs=val_idxs, cat_features=cat_features)
model.predict_proba(X_test)

See this notebook
for more examples.
Available ML models
Our ML models are available in up to three variants, all with best-epoch selection:

library defaults (D)
our tuned defaults (TD)
random search hyperparameter optimization (HPO), sometimes also tree parzen estimator (HPO-TPE)

We provide the following ML models:

RealMLP (TD, HPO): Our new neural net models with tuned defaults (TD)
or random search hyperparameter optimization (HPO)
XGB, LGBM, CatBoost (D, TD, HPO, HPO-TPE): Interfaces for gradient-boosted
tree libraries XGBoost, LightGBM, CatBoost
MLP, ResNet (D, HPO): Models from [Revisiting Deep Learning Models for Tabular Data](Revisiting Deep Learning Models for Tabular Data)
TabR-S (D): TabR model from TabR: Tabular Deep Learning Meets Nearest Neighbors
Ensemble-TD: Weighted ensemble of all TD models (RealMLP, XGB, LGBM, CatBoost)

Benchmarking code
Our benchmarking code has functionality for

dataset download
running methods highly parallel on single-node/multi-node/multi-GPU hardware,
with automatic scheduling and trying to respect RAM constraints
analyzing/plotting results

For more details, we refer to the documentation.
