AutoResearch Tabular automates tabular ML discovery
AutoResearch Tabular is an open-source Claude Code-powered agent for tabular binary classification tasks. It iterates through analysis and experiment cycles by editing feature engineering and model scripts while using expanding time windows to prevent leakage.
This is the right kind of agentic ML: constrained, auditable, and optimized for search throughput rather than one-off leaderboard theatrics.
- –Expanding time windows are the credibility anchor here; they mirror production better than k-fold and make leakage much harder to sneak in.
- –Limiting edits to `features.py`, `model.py`, and `analysis.py` blocks the classic "agent improves its own grader" failure mode.
- –`LOG.md` and `LEARNING.md` give the loop persistent memory, which is the difference between compounding insight and repeating dead ends.
- –LightGBM defaults plus feature/tree caps are boring on purpose: the real objective is more honest experiments per day, not one giant run.
- –This is best read as signal discovery on operational tabular data, not benchmark chasing on a fixed dataset, so the hundreds of runs only matter if the target is real-world improvement.
