Neural networks for classification problem on tabular data

Abstract

This work presents the results of using self-normalizing neural networks with automatic selection of hyperparameters, TabNet and NODE to solve the problem of tabular data classification. The method of automatic selection of hyperparameters was realised. Testing was carried out with the open source framework OpenML AutoML Benchmark. As part of the work, a comparative analysis was carried out with seven classification methods, experiments were carried out for 39 datasets with 5 methods. NODE shows the best results among the following methods and overperformed standard methods for four datasets.
