Autonomous Agent Runs Endless Tabular Experiments

A new autonomous ML agent, inspired by Karpathy's AutoResearch, uses Claude to indefinitely run experiments on tabular binary classification tasks. It analyzes data, hypothesizes, edits code in three locked files, evaluates with temporal splits, and logs insights via git. Key lessons emphasize airtight evaluation and experiment throughput.

ML vs Stats for Child Obesity Prediction

ML vs Stats for Child Obesity Prediction

Researchers compared statistical, ML, and deep learning models on 18,792 US children aged 10-17 from 2021 NSCH to predict overweight/obesity. AUC ranged 0.66-0.79, with logistic regression, gradient boosting, and MLP offering the best balance of discrimination and calibration. Complex models provided limited gains, and subgroup disparities persisted across races and poverty levels.
