Revisiting Tabular Deep Regression: Objectives and the Limits of Global Early Stopping

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Oct 9, 2026 · UTC

While deep learning models for tabular data have recently received significant research attention, the choice of objective functions for regression tasks remains an understudied degree of freedom. Several lines of research offer alternatives to the standard Mean Squared Error (MSE), but differences in datasets, backbones, and evaluation protocols make their practical benefits difficult to compare. In this work, we address this gap by performing a systematic re-evaluation of regression objectives across a broad collection of established tabular datasets and multiple neural backbones.
