Skore's tagline is “track your data science”. We’re relentlessly improving the tools, and we will push them to redefine the data-science experience.

We’re opening early, because at Probabl we believe in transparency.
This is just the beginning🔥

Skore complements building blocks such as @scikit-learn.org, helping to track and validate the work.
It comes both as a powerful stand-alone open-source library, which can be used fully offline, and an online platform to track and share months of iterations

Skore Is Live: Track Your Data Science Skore by Probabl: The collaboration platform for data scientists. Evaluate models, automate reports, and bridge the gap from notebooks to production.

At probabl, we're focused on improving the data-science stack.

We just made public the skore platform, augmenting the open-source library.
Our dream is that, with skore, a data scientist will not feel overwhelmed by the iterative process of data science, but empowered

Ma montre altimètre indique typiquement 1500m.

Peut-être le progrès vient-il du fait que la pression descend plus lentement?

Ils s'intéressent beaucoup au pouvoir. Ça conduit naturellement à ce type de lectures

Je ne vois pas pourquoi l'épistémologie est pertinente uniquement pour les sciences expérimentales.

TabICLv2 is the next big step in foundation models for tabular data.
Try the package, read the paper.
Enjoy!
Installation: pypi.org/project/tabi...
Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2602.11139
Open source code: github.com/soda-inria/t...

Looking beyond the median cost per sample, compute costs grow non-linearly with the data size.

Figure 6 shows the influence of sample size, revealing the marked benefit of TabICLv2 over TabPFN-2.5, that becomes more and more pronounced with sample size.
And TabICLv2 runs well on CPU.

TabICLv2 is state of the art, and fast.

Figure 1 in the paper gives the results on the standard TabArena benchmark, showing that TabICLv2 is the best predictor without needing any hyper-parameter tuning.

TabICLv2: A better, faster, scalable, and open tabular foundation model Tabular foundation models, such as TabPFNv2 and TabICL, have recently dethroned gradient-boosted trees at the top of predictive benchmarks, demonstrating the value of in-context learning for tabular d...

See arxiv.org/abs/2602.11139 for the technical information, including benchmarks and the “details” that make TabICLv2 work so well.

- A new example has been added to show how skrub Data Ops can be used with pytorch and skorch to solve an image classification task.

skrub-data.org/stable/auto_...

Main changes:
- The StringEncoder now exposes the vocabulary parameter, allowing it to be passed to the underlying TfidfVectorizer.
- The function compute_ngram_distance has been made private to reduce clutter.
- The repository wheel has been made smaller by removing some benchmarking material.

✨ skrub version 0.7.2 has been released ✨

In this release we squashed more bugs, improved the API reference, and added a new example.

Here is a full example on how to use skrub Data Ops with Optuna

skrub-data.org/stable/auto_...

At the end, you get a fully-fledged Optuna study to work
with. Of course, that includes support for the Optuna dashboard and access to the Optuna reporting and plotting interfaces.

Three snippets of python code showing how to use skrub Data Ops with the Optuna optimization library.The first snippet shows a standard randomized search with the Data Ops. The second snippet adds the parameter "backend", which is set to "optuna". The third snippet uses the Optuna visualization API to plot information from the study.

Did you know that the skrub Data Ops support Optuna as backend to run hyperparameter search?

It's as easy as writing "backend='optuna'": this will set up a default Optuna study (and the TPE sampler) to replace the standard random sampler.

On a relevé les compteurs vélo et on n'a pas été déçus 🤗 ! Des cumuls 2025 impressionnants sur les compteurs placés aux 4 coins d'Antony et des augmentations de fréquentation vraiment importantes ! 

Nous comptons bien nous appuyer sur cette affluence pour défendre les intérêts des cyclistes ! 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️

La tristesse de cette cycliste morte écrasée dans mon quartier + l'indécence de la réaction du ministre Tabarot indiquant "le renforcement de la signalisation des angles morts sur les poids-lourds" : un sticker sur un poids lourd n'a jamais empêché personne de se faire écraser !

I consider such a behavior as pretty low standards on production of science. A clear preference for speed over correctness.

How many other aspects of the paper are like this? Did people vibe code their experiments and not check these?...

Definitely love "against method".
Cited it in a paper about LLMs and knowledge engineering:

Sorry, the paper is both in French, and philosophy 😄

Because you have hard-working open-source developers, with huge amount of professionalism and process, who consolidate reusable building blocks.

True story, cf @scikit-learn.org @pytorch.org @python.org
