An interesting paper out today www.nature.com/articles/s41...
As well known to many of us, tabular data is fiendishly hard, and whenever a new method comes out, boosting still beats it. Always, but this paper suggests deep learning is finally competitive.

Accurate predictions on small data with a tabular foundation model - Nature
Tabular Prior-data Fitted Network, a tabular foundation model, provides accurate predictions on small data and outperforms all previous methods on datasets with up to 10,000 samples by a wide margin.

Took us some time to get this out. Shows how one metric fits all can be dangerous. Thanks to all co-authors.
Stunting/wasting in children in Sub-Saharan Africa is a major public health concern. However, we show that identifying where the problem occurs can be difficult due to confounding with ethnicity.
