This helps newer contributors to OpenML who were not part of the author list of the 2014 paper with attribution and allows them to continue to contribute to #OpenML and open source software. Thank you :) 2/2

Dear #NeurIPS authors, in case you cite #OpenML, we would appreciate if you cite our most recent work OpenML: Insights from 10 years and more than a thousand papers (www.cell.com/patterns/ful... ). 1/2

OpenML: Insights from 10 years and more than a thousand papers

The authors reflect on 10 years of OpenML, the open-source platform that turns machine-learning experiments into open, linked, and reusable knowledge. They present the current state of the OpenML ecos...

A better understanding of overtuning will help the #AutoML community design more reliable optimization and selection strategies, especially in small-data regimes where robustness is critical. 🚀

Matthias Feurer @matthiasfeurer.bsky.social · 16d

Our large-scale analysis shows overtuning is more common than we expected, occasionally severe, and influenced by factors like resampling strategy, dataset size, and model class.

Matthias Feurer @matthiasfeurer.bsky.social · 16d

We formally define and study overtuning, a phenomenon where hyperparameter optimization improves validation scores but hurts true generalization. In addition, we relate it to (meta-)overfitting and put recent literature in perspective.
