mlr3torch: A Deep Learning Framework in R based on mlr3 and torch
Sebastian Fischer, Lukas Burk, Carson Zhang +2
Deep learning (DL) has become a cornerstone of modern machine learning (ML) praxis. We introduce the R package mlr3torch, which is an extensible DL framework for the mlr3 ecosystem…
xplainfi: Feature Importance and Statistical Inference for Machine Learning in R
Lukas Burk, Fiona Katharina Ewald, Giuseppe Casalicchio +2
We introduce xplainfi, an R package built on top of the mlr3 ecosystem for global, loss-based feature importance methods for machine learning models. Various feature importance met…
A Large-Scale Neutral Comparison Study of Survival Models on Low-Dimensional Data
Lukas Burk, John Zobolas, Bernd Bischl +3
This work presents the first large-scale neutral benchmark experiment focused on single-event, right-censored, low-dimensional survival data. Benchmark experiments are essential in…
Machine Learning in Epidemiology
Marvin N. Wright, Lukas Burk, Pegah Golchian +3
In the age of digital epidemiology, epidemiologists are faced by an increasing amount of data of growing complexity and dimensionality. Machine learning is a set of powerful tools…
Reduction Techniques for Survival Analysis
Johannes Piller, Léa Orsini, Simon Wiegrebe +6
In this work, we discuss what we refer to as reduction techniques for survival analysis, that is, techniques that "reduce" a survival task to a more common regression or classifica…
When Are Scoring Rules Proper? Bridging Theory and Practice in Survival Model Evaluation
Raphael Sonabend, John Zobolas, Riccardo De Bin +5
Proper scoring rules encourage probabilistic predictions that match the true underlying distribution and are central to model evaluation, with increasing relevance in automated wor…
