The paper argues that typical tabular machine learning benchmarks, which aggregate results by averaging scores or ranks, can hide which models are essential for achieving the best performance on specific datasets. It proposes evaluating models against a data‑centric peak performance frontier, classifying them as irreplaceable, sufficient, redundant, or fallible based on their position relative to other models. Applying this to the TabArena benchmark shows that common aggregation metrics mainly capture consistency and failure avoidance, but fail to reflect dataset‑specific strengths, leading to a misalignment between aggregate rewards and true model utility.
The paper investigates regression with bounded responses, comparing two learning frameworks: model selection aggregation, which requires improper algorithms to achieve minimax excess risk, and universal learning, where empirical risk minimization suffices for exponential learning rates. For finite hypothesis classes, the authors show that the $Q$-aggregation estimator simultaneously attains minimax optimal tails and exponential universal rates, while other common estimators fail to do so. For countably infinite classes, they prove an inherent trade‑off between exponential universal and minimax uniform rates, resolved by combining optimal algorithms from each framework via $Q$-aggregation.
