Foundation models, pretrained and readily usable for many downstream tasks, have changed the way we process text, images, and sound. Can we achieve similar breakthroughs for tables? Here I explain why with “CARTE”, we’ve made significant headway.
We just released skrub 0.2.0. This release markedly simplifies learning on complex dataframes.
The highlight of the release is the tabular_learner function, which facilitates creating pipelines that readily perform machine learning on dataframes, adding preprocessing to a scikit-learn compatible learner …
Despite their apparent intelligence, conversational artificial intelligences often lack logic. The debate rages on: do they reason or do they recite snatches of text memorized on the Internet?

François Chollet rightfully said that people often underestimate the impact of scikit-learn. I give here a few illustrations to back his claim.
A few days ago, François Chollet (the creator of Keras, the library that that democratized deep learning) posted:
Indeed, scikit-learn continues to be the most popular machine …

Broad decoding models that can specialize to discriminate closely-related mental process with limited data
TL;DR
Decoding models can help isolating which mental processes are implied by the activation of given brain structures. But to support a broad conclusion, they must be trained on many studies, a difficult problem given …

Join us to work on reinventing data-science practices and tools to produce robust analysis with less data curation.
It is well known that data cleaning and preparation are a heavy burden to the data scientist.
In the dirty data project, we have been conducting machine-learning research …
