abstract

This paper presents the key algorithmic techniques behind CatBoost, a new gradient boosting toolkit. Their combination leads to CatBoost outperforming other publicly available boosting implementations in terms of quality on a variety of datasets. Two critical algorithmic advances introduced in CatBoost are the implementation of ordered boosting, a permutation-driven alternative to the classic algorithm, and an innovative algorithm for processing categorical features. Both techniques were created to fight a prediction shift caused by a special kind of target leakage present in all currently existing implementations of gradient boosting algorithms. In this paper, we provide a detailed analysis of this problem and demonstrate that proposed algorithms solve it effectively, leading to excellent empirical results.

TFM-Retouche: A Lightweight Input-Space Adapter for Tabular Foundation Models

cs.LG · 2026-05-07 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0 · 2 refs

TFM-Retouche is an architecture-agnostic input-space residual adapter that improves tabular foundation model accuracy on 51 datasets by learning input corrections through the frozen backbone, with an identity guard to fall back to the original model.

MuViS: Multimodal Virtual Sensing Benchmark

eess.SP · 2026-03-13 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

MuViS is a new unified benchmark showing that neither gradient-boosted trees nor deep neural networks hold a universal advantage in multimodal virtual sensing.

RelAgent: LLM Agents as Data Scientists for Relational Learning

cs.LG · 2026-05-08 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0
