• Abstract: In recent years, Machine Learning algorithms, in particular supervised learning techniques, have been shown to be very effective in solving regression problems. We compare the performance of a newly proposed regression algorithm against four conventional machine learning algorithms namely, Decision Trees, Random Forest, k-Nearest Neighbours and XG Boost. The proposed algorithm was presented in detail in a previous paper but detailed comparisons were not included. We do an in-depth comparison, using the Mean Absolute Error (MAE) as the performance metric, on a diverse set of datasets to illustrate the great potential and robustness of the proposed approach. The reader is free to replicate our results since we have provided the source code in a GitHub repository while the datasets are publicly available.

  In the early days of machine learning (ML), the emphasis was on developing complex algorithms to achieve best predictive performance. Recently, researchers are compromising on small increases in predictive performance to develop algorithms that are inherently interpretable. The paper proposes a new algorithm, called GAMI-Lin-T, that also uses trees like EBM, but it does linear fits instead of piecewise constants within the partitions.

  Recent advances in probabilistic modelling have led to a large number of simulation-based inference algorithms which do not require numerical evaluation of likelihoods. We provide a benchmark with inference tasks and suitable performance metrics, with an initial selection of algorithms. We found that the choice of performance metric is critical, that even state-of-the-art algorithms have substantial room for improvement, and that sequential estimation improves sample efficiency.
